Your glaze, your logo, your shape.

Four levels of customisation, four logo methods and four packaging options. Mix them to fit your brand, quantity and deadline.

In short

You can add a logo to our shapes from 50 pieces, develop a custom glaze from 200, or create a new shape from 300. Every level starts with a sample you approve.

Levels of customisation

Higher levels take longer and need larger runs, because they include glaze development or a prototype.

Logo and decoration methods

Choose from your artwork. Every method here is fired, so the mark lasts as long as the piece.

Custom glaze development

Bring a fabric swatch, a paint chip, a Pantone code or a piece you love. We develop a glaze to match it on your chosen body.

  1. Send your reference

    A physical sample is best; a Pantone reference works too.

  2. Test tiles

    We fire two or three variations on the real clay body.

  3. Approve and record

    You approve one tile. We log the recipe and keep the tile as your reference.

  4. Produce and match

    Production and every reorder are checked against that tile.

Custom shapes

Draw a profile in the Design Studio or send a dimensioned drawing. We confirm feasibility, capacity and weight before making a prototype.
