Japanese Techniques
Karak tiles are produced using a Japanese technique called ‘raku’. Glazed earthenware or clay tiles are placed in a hot Kiln for about an hour. A chemical reaction occurs causing cracking and a change in colour to the glaze. The result is a beautiful, unique and vibrant patterned tile which will enhance any facade, inside or out.
Where are Karak Tiles manufactured?
S.Anselmo in Italy are the manufacturers of this beautiful handmade bespoke product. Locally sourced clay from Italy is used and a chosen coloured glaze is applied. The end result after the 1 hour firing process is a unique crackled finish. Each individual piece is a handmade piece of Art.
