Production & Craftsmanship
This tile is handmade using the traditional cuerda seca method, a technique that employs high-relief black outlines to achieve crisp separation between colors. Each section of the pattern is filled by hand with richly pigmented glazes, ensuring vibrant contrast and artisanal precision. After glazing, the tile is fired at high temperatures to produce a glossy, durable finish that enhances both its visual depth and surface strength.
Artisan Testimony
"Each relief tile I paint is like giving shape to memory—mixing earth, water, and fire into a design that reflects who we are." – Isabel M., ceramic artist from Dolores Hidalgo
