Artisan

Mexican tiles are celebrated for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and traditional handcrafting techniques. Artisans who create these tiles use methods passed down through generations, emphasizing both the aesthetic and cultural significance of their work.

They use a specific type of clay and a unique glazing process to create these brightly colored, hand-painted tiles.

Once the tiles are completely dry, they are placed in a kiln for the first firing, called the “bisque firing.” This initial firing typically occurs at a temperature of around 1,850°F (1,000°C). The bisque firing hardens the clay. After painting, the tiles are placed in the kiln for a second firing, known as the “glaze firing.” This firing typically takes place at a higher temperature, around 1,800-2,000°F (980-1,100°C). During this process, the glaze melts and fuses to the tile, creating a glossy, glass-like surface that enhances the vibrancy of the colors and provides durability.
