| Lining & Painting | |||||
| Our Tiles are created through a special process called tube-lining. It requires a lot of time and patience - An Artist draws out details throughout a blank white-fired tile with special tools filled with liquid clay. Drawn out clay acts as a color barrier that contains the over-glazes painted into the sections. Just think of this tube-line clay as the lines in a coloring book. Next the tile is hand-painted with rich colorful glazes and shades that set within the clay lines. At this point, the tile is complete and needs enormous amounts of heat to cure. |

| Kiln Firing | |||||
| After the Artist is satisfied with his lines, glazes, and shading, we bring the almost-finished tile to one of our special electric kilns. We use a very elaborate firing process. The Tiles are fire baked and cooled throughout several cycles lasting over 24 hours total. During these kiln cycles, the internal heat reaches temperatures of over 2000° Fahrenheit. This immense heat creates very detailed lines and preserves the colors to last forever. | |||||

| UPS Shipping | |||||
| Our last manufacturing step includes gluing a velvet backing to each tile. The backing comes assembled with either a hanger or a flip-out stand - most tiles include both! Next, the finished Tiles are placed inside a decorative packing box, and then carefully packaged for UPS Ground Shipping.
