| Motawi
polychrome tiles are produced in the ancient tile-making process known
as ceunca style. "Cuenca" means "basin" and also happens
to be a town and a province of Spain. The term refers to the small raised
lines of clay that make up the "basins" into which we put our
glazes. Each glaze is pooled by hand into its area with a glaze bulb.
The cuenca process is very similar to the cloisonne jewelry-making process.
Every tile is hand-glazed and each is unique. Other types of Motawi Tile
are "field" and "relief." |
