What i wanna know is why the hand made tile maker person hasnt been sacked yet. Lol

Because he's still practising!
The Mexicans are the best - they grade their tiles that are collected from the little ovens along the roads. By the time they get to DDD or something they are unusable!
It's just as well we work a the fashion industry.

Is that where BCT get their biscuits from? :astonished:
 
A know a man who makes handmade tiles in Bath. He is a journalist at a loose end during the summer. And that's why handmade tiles are so bad. 😵

If he made them in a workshop, even a shed, they might not be so bad!
Why would anyone make tiles in the bath???

Probably sells them to friends and family who tell him he's a true craftsman everybody else says he's *****🙄
 
Hand made tiles can be a nightmare but designers and architects love them because they are individual and I like them because you can charge more The trick is spend time in the prep and point out the issues in them ie size variation, bowing, thickness, colours etc etc

I agree that you charge for the additional time in getting that 'look' but if you have to point out the issues, then your in trouble. They know what there're after.

But they don't know what's involved to fix there super duper tiles, we want that and they don't listen.
