HAND PAINTED WITH SKILL & ARTISTRY TO CREATE THESE BEAUTIFUL DELICATE PATTERNED TILES Our team of skilled ceramic artists individually hand paint each design, using the traditional ‘majolica’ technique, a right first time process where colour is finely painted onto the chalky surface of the glaze using complex brushstrokes before the tile it is fired. Akin to trying to paint on blotting paper, it takes years of training to achieve the exceptional quality that is our trademark. Each tile is signed by the artist on the reverse of the tile before firing in our kilns.
