Impressions

We have been designing and making the Impressions range for nearly 15 years, and it has proved to be a tile that can truly be called an “English Classic”. Glazed in white or cream, they remain one of the simplest, yet most appealing of all our designs, creating a style and simplicity which is the ideal foil to any interior scheme.

Each of our Impressions relief ware starts life as an individually hand sculpted tile from which master moulds are taken. From these masters, pressing moulds are made into which terracotta clay is hand pressed to make each tile.

 

 

 

After “biscuit” firing, each tile is hand dipped with a generous coat of glaze, and then re-fired to over 1050ºC.

From drying to firing to final glazing, Impressions are tiles bourne out of years of traditional English craftsmanship and design. No where in the world can this heritage be found - something we can all be proud of!

As the tiles are lifted from our kilns, the result is stunning - tiles with a lustrous glaze that catch the light showing the depth and variety of the carving beneath.
