12. The Delft Tile Men

Over 1,300 inhabitants of Delft have participated in the artwork the ‘Delft Tile Men’, including many children from primary schools in Delft. Each of them created a large bead from a handful of clay from the rail zone. All these shapes were incorporated by artist Marijke Gémessy into a single work of art: three Delft tile men. The ‘Delft Tile Men’ was inspired by the figures that can be seen on Delft blue tiles.
