Production & Craftsmanship
Each tile is made using the cuerda seca technique. Black relief lines form a raised outline around the design, and colored glazes are hand-filled within the sections. The tile is then fired at high temperature, resulting in a durable and vivid finish. This process emphasizes both artisan precision and visual texture, making every piece unique.
