Weaving its roots in water and its branches in air, the willow gracefully weathers wind and storm. The Blue Willow tile features a stylized willow tree etched in Celtic knots of original design. The tile is shaped from a single slab of stoneware clay. Each line of the woven design and each dot of texture on the background is meticulously hand-carved into the surface of the clay using a series of small, metal tools. The creation of the plaque is quite labor intensive, and carving and glazing alone take over ten hours to complete!
After the design is complete, the piece is allowed to dry for a couple weeks before it is fired for the first time. After the first firing, the plaque is hand-glazed with brushes, and the lines between the knots are filled with glaze using an adapted syringe. The piece is then fired for a second time to over 2000oF to ensure long-lasting beauty and durability.
Rubber bumpers on the back of the piece protect surfaces, and picture wire allows for easy hanging.
Due to the hand-made nature of the Blue Willow Knot Tile, colors and sizes of the actual piece may vary from the picture.
