WITH PORTUGUESE WHITE EARTHENWARE

FROM PLASTIC TO GLAZEWARE

Each tile is made one by one, with the slab technique, which involves rolling out the clay into flat pieces, using a slab roller.

Throughout the entire process, theres a lot of testing, cutting, waiting, handling, pressing, shelving and frequent follow-up, all of which require great care and patience.

Before printing with ceramic inks, each tile undergoes a bisque firing.

AFTER THE FIRST FIRING

BISQUE STAGE

In this edition, after the bisque firing, the tiles are printed with ceramic inks (one color at a time) and then glazed. Or the other way around.

With screen printing it's possible to print directly onto the clay, at various stages, using different types of coatings, resulting in diverse aesthetics.

In this collection, we use more than one process.
