Red Flowers in Sea
Molding: Artisans skillfully sculpt high-quality natural clay, shaping the sink with expert precision. The unique form of each basin is achieved either by hand or with a potter's wheel.
Drying: The sculpted sink is air-dried at room temperature. This process can range from a few days to a week, preparing the sink for its first firing by removing residual moisture.
First Firing (Biscuit Firing): The sink is hardened through firing in a kiln at temperatures between 1,650°F (900°C) and 1,980°F (1,080°C). This transforms the clay into a robust ceramic material.
Glazing: Artisans apply a layer of liquid glass or glaze to the sink's surface, creating a protective layer that makes the sink more resistant to stains and wear.
Decoration: The glaze serves as a canvas for our artisans, who hand-paint unique Çini designs onto the basin using vibrant underglazes. Each design is a distinct expression of the artist's vision.
Second Firing (Glost Firing): After the painting, the sink undergoes a second firing. This process melts the glaze, setting the hand-painted designs and creating a glossy, smooth, durable surface.
Cooling and Finishing: The ceramic sink is then cooled down to room temperature, a process that may take over a day. Any final refinements are made, and the sink is inspected thoroughly for quality before it's ready for installation.
At Artisan Guild, we're not just craftsmen; we're a collective of artists dedicated to reviving the ancient Ottoman art of çini. This centuries-old technique is renowned for its exceptional durability in ceramic painting. Evidence of its lasting brilliance can be found in Turkish Hammams, where Ottoman çini pieces, over 500 years old, still radiate their original vibrant colors.
