Clay is the most-friendly material that has
been used for housings since the beginning of our civilization.
Before the tiles were known, our ancestors had used earthen
clay for their floor. Clay is proven to be healthy and safe
material. Now, clay has come into many forms, such as home
decorations, tiles and roof-tile. People also tend to have
clayed tiles since they look natural and easy to be cared.
From the heart of Tabanan, in the central of Bali, which has
been known as terracotta producers, we get the material for
our terracotta tiles and decorations. To produce a good quality
of terracotta tiles, the secret lies in the formula of its
material. Our terracotta tiles are made entirely by traditional
makers that have long culturally inherited the knowledge of
the base material and technique from their ancestors. This
knowledge is well
preserved and resulted in good quality products.
Our terracotta decorations are entirely hand-made by talented
traditional artists, designers and makers.
What makes our products special is the material
and the way it is made. The clay is mixed with fine material
called paras. The mixture is showered with water before it
is milled. Our material is milled twice to get the best result,
which can easily be shaped and formed to various forms. The
length of roasting our terracotta tiles and roof-tiles
fits the best, so they are durable and strong.
Only in the hands of skilled workers can the good quality
products be resulted.
