How It's Made

Each ceramic trivet/coaster goes through a double-high kiln-fire process.
The 1st bake allows the raw clay to cure and harden before individual tiles are hand-painted with lead-free glass compound natural paint.
The 2nd bake is done in a high-fire kiln with a glass compound protective glaze finish. This bake occurs in a high-fire gas powered kiln for several hours where temperatures reach 1800˚F. The intense heat creates a reaction where the glass compounds transform into a glossy protective glaze coat. Hand painted on all sides except the bottom.
Because tiles & coasters are individually hand-painted each piece will vary slightly from the next. These artisanal qualities impart authentic personality and wholly unique presence.

Artisan Story

Each coaster, trivet, and tile is handmade from dense and durable ceramic that is kiln fired with a protective glaze. Each trivet is fitted with cork padding on the bottom. Safe for high heat and kitchen use. Trivets are painted on all sides except the bottom. All of our ceramic trivets/coasters are handmade by true craftspeople. Designed and created at our fair trade artisan studios located in Guanajuato Mexico.

    great experience, great tiles and excellent customer service!

    I want to start off by saying that dealing with Clayton was an incredible experience for a customer! I saw these coasters on his site and wanted the tile in different sizes for a renovation project. I spoke with Clayton and explained to him what I was looking for, and he went out of the way to get this special order placed for me at such a reasonable price. He kept me updated throughout the process of placing the order, getting it made at the studio, and then getting it shipped out, all in the midst of major disruptions during the pandemic! As beautiful as the pictures were, the actual tile itself is even better. Everything was well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Clayton is also a great, friendly person, and it was a pleasure dealing with him!
