As England’s leading producer of hand crafted tiles, we continue to produce our tiles in Devon’s historic city of Exeter.
The art of making tiles
Everything we produce is unique and the culmination of the combined experience of the highly skilled artists, designers and crafts people who make up our team. In the beginning our fl at tiles start out as ‘bisques’, blank canvases bearing nothing but the Winchester name indented on the undecorated flip side. It’s what happens next that dictates the end result: the various manufacturing processes of firing temperatures and frequency; different glazes and how they react to heat and other processes; hand painting and finishing – the alchemy of tile making at its best.
