Fire Creek tiles are suitable for installations in kitchens, bathrooms and fireplace surrounds
Fire Creek tile designs begin with my sketch. I transfer the sketch to a slab of clay and the carving process can begin. I hand carve each and every design. There are no C & C machines here at Fire Creek, which means you truly get a work of art with every tile that you purchase. The vision and hand of the artist is in every piece. Once I finish the carving, I cast the tile in plaster so that I can make multiple copies of the same design. Mid-range stoneware clay is pressed into the molds and fired. After the first firing, the tiles are hand glazed and fired again to over 2000 degrees. Fire Creek tiles are suitable for installations in kitchens, bathrooms and fireplace surrounds.
