Our tiles are made with age old traditional methods combined with contemporary design techniques.

The clay is put through an extruder to produce a long tongue of clay which is then cut up to the correct size and design for the tiles. The glaze is then applied which contains minerals such as powdered flint and china clay before the tiles are fired in the kiln to strengthen them, the heat is intense with temperatures of up to 1008 degrees. They are fired once and sometimes twice, finishing with glaze paints to bake the design onto the tile.

We have a fabulous selection of tiles to view in the showroom and are delighted to discuss special commissions.

We are located at Darsham, Suffolk on the A12 between Aldeburgh and Southwold, 30 minutes north of Ipswich.
