DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

They master traditional techniques from Toledo (of the Hispano-Muslim tradition), such as the cuerda seca technique, the tubat technique and slipware.

For the cuerda seca technique they use as a base an industrial red clay tile, drawing by hand the cuerda seca trace with a mixture of greasy substances and manganese. The enamels which are then applied are done so with a bulb syringe and a brush. They use the industrial format with the aim of lowering the costs of the final product, since the cuerda seca technique is rather laborious and can increase the final price of each tile. 

When using the tubat technique they first manufacture the tools and frames which allows them to reproduce the tiles by pressing the clay within a mould. Afterwards the clay tile is fired and it is then enamelled with a bulb syringe and a brush. 

Slipware is a technique to manufacture tiles with a frame. They then apply the slipware with a paintbrush and lastly they decorate the tile by means of the sgraffito technique.
