Crystalline glaze movement

Surface Study

Mineral colour shifts from tile to tile.

Crystalline growth, edge tone, and glaze movement remain visible across the finished surface.

Each glaze batch is mixed and applied in-house before the final firing.

Making

From raw clay to the second firing.

Each tile passes through the same careful sequence in the atelier.

See the full process
01

Shaped by hand

Each tile is formed individually, leaving small differences at the edge and surface.

02

Slow drying

Raw tiles dry between pieces of wood for approximately two months.

03

Bisque and prepared

After the 1080°C bisque firing, each piece is sanded and washed.

04

Glazed and fired

The selected in-house glaze is applied before a final firing at 1180°C.

Raw handmade tile stacks settling under wooden boards in the atelier.

Inside the atelier

Raw tiles dry slowly between wooden boards.

After shaping, tiles are stacked between pieces of wood and left to dry for about two months.

Once dry, they are bisque fired at 1080°C, sanded, washed, glazed, and fired again at 1180°C.
