Technique modifications
In Spain, the most common technique
used to make ceramic tiles is
Majolica, in which a fired glaze
creates a painting surface on which the
design is then painted and then fired
again. For convenience purposes,
instead of using a kiln, we will be
firing our pieces in the oven.
