Where Expectations Meet Experience
There are several carefully considered steps involved in creating a handmade ceramic tile.
Every tile is handmade in our studio from start to finish
Choosing the shape
Every project begins with the client selecting a shape. We either hand-cut the from clay or press a decorative tile into a mould, depending on the design.
Drying
Once formed, the tiles are left to dry slowly and naturally. This stage is crucial to prevent warping or cracking.
Bisque Firing
When completely dry, the tiles are loaded into the kiln for the first firing, known as the bisque firing. This firing takes approximately 24-36 hours from start to finish, allowing the clay to transform into a ceramic body.
Glazing & decoration
After the bisque firing, each tile is either hand-painted or spray-glazed.
Glaze Firing
The final step is the glaze firing. The heat melts the glaze, creating depth, texture, and richness of colour. This is where colour, character, and individuality of the tiles comes to life.
Meet the Artist
My name is Catherine Carroll, and I am a studio potter. I have a BFA and an MFA in studio ceramics, and I have been working in clay for almost thirty years. For the past ten years, I have concentrated on tile making, and I would love to bring the magic of hand-made, beautifully imperfect tiles to the spaces in which you live and work.
