This placed clay acts as a color barrier that contains the over-glazes painted into the sections. Next the tile is hand-painted with rich colorful glazes that set within the clay lines. At this point, the tile is complete and needs to be kiln fired. We put our tiles through an elaborate kiln fire process. They are cooked then cooled throughout several cycles lasting 24 hours. During this kiln firing process, our kilns reach temperatures of over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. This creates very detailed lines and preserves the colors to last.
