What kind of tiles can I get from Shubunkin Pottery?
Shubunkin Pottery makes flat and bas-relief tiles out of cone 6 stoneware (fired to about 2200 degrees F) and cone 04 low-fire (fired to about 1925 degrees F) clays. The difference between the two types of clay is appearance and durability; the stoneware tiles are more durable and recommended for areas subject to some abuse, such as fireplace surrounds, whereas either type is fine for routine wall use. Shubunkin Pottery also paints and glazes bisqued low-fire tiles, which integrate better with commercial tile because of their precise manufactured appearance. We can also put an on-glaze decoration on your purchased commercial tiles.
