The designs of this selection of hand-made tiles are created using plants which are pressed in greenware clay and porcelain tiles, sometimes using a mould. After slowly drying the work is biscuit fired to 1000*C. Depending of the technique and glazes applied it is then re-fired rapidly in a raku kiln to temperatures varying between 850*C and 950*C. Each tile is unique due to the unpredictable nature of Raku.
