The
art of making ceramic tile has been around for over
four thousand years. Although the way most tile is made
today differs greatly from the past, some of the best
tiles on the market today are still made in the traditions
of old, by hand. Production by hand creates the uniqueness
of handcrafted tile.The slight differences to the pressure
of the clay being pressed into the mold,the moisture
content of the clay or the thickness of the glaze application
create variation between the tiles and makes a more
lively product.
Most of our tiles are produced from a stoneware clay
fired at cone 5 for a stronger product. Relief tiles
are painted with one semi-transparent color or multi
color underglaze with a clear overglaze. Variations
in color and size are one of the obvious differences
between handcrafted tile. Find a color on the color
page then pick out your style of tile. Our specalty
is the high relief tile, they work great as a liner
for kitchens and baths.
Ceramic tile has definitely stood the test of time.
Those test are still in force today, in the ancient
tombs of Egypt. Take a look at a few of our product
