The process they follow at the workshop have the following stages: modelling, drying, first firing of the biscuit (1050ºC), preparation of traditional enamels with their own formulation, application of enamels (immersion of the piece, by applying the enamels with pears, paintbrushes, etc.) and second firing (980ºC) in open flame gas ovens.
