About the Knowledge Centre
Who writes these articles?
They are written from our own workshop practice and from the craft record published on our previous site, covering glaze preparation, the making sequence and the history of the craft.
Do the glaze formulas really work?
The proportions quoted are the reference figures used in this craft. Kiln temperature changes the result, so every workshop tests against its own conditions.
Can I use these articles for my own catalogue?
Ask us first. We are happy to supply text and images to customers selling our tiles.
Where do I start if I am new to hand painted tile?
Start with how hand painted ceramic tiles are made, then read the glaze article before discussing colour matching.
