Mônica Grohmann creates hand-made ceramics, tiles and mosaics. This is a selection of her unique hand-made tiles, dimensions are between 9 and 11 cm square.
Stoneware tiles
Hand-made tiles are mostly made of porcelain and grogged clays sometimes mixed with oxides. Clay, porcelain and natural organic elements are hand-pressed in molds to create textures and patterns. When in leather-hard state pieces are individually shaped and burnished. They are biscuit fired at 1000*C, glazed and re-fired at around 1250*C.
Raku tiles
Tiles are individually made using a porcelain body biscuit fired at 1000*C and re-fired rapidly in a raku kiln to about 900*C. Each tile is unique due to the unpredictable nature of Raku.
