Request for 7 figures for a nativity scene in the Dutch Tile Museum in Otterlo

The Dutch Tile Museum in Otterlo asked us to create a nativity scene. The nativity scene would consist of Joseph, Mary, a shepherd, the three wise men and baby Jesus. We are currently busy realising this project, which must be completed before 1 December.

The Dutch Tile Museum in Otterlo boasts one of the largest collections of Dutch wall tiles and tile tapestries. One is able to see children’s games and proverbs, old costumes, ships and windmills, biblical scenes, herding scenes and landscapes. Flowers, birds and animals are firm favourites, as are finely-created abstract leaf patterns or geometric ornaments. The museum offers great opportunities to learn more about techniques for baking and painting tiles.
