An enamelling and serigraphy workshop
Your project will be printed and enamelled in our own workshops. Our silk screen printers and enamellers boast exceptional know-how thanks to the lengthy in-house training we give them.
Each enamelled lava or stoneware product is unique. It is personally supervised by one of our craftsmen, who'll make sure our printing service is irreproachable.
Meeting your requirements is our objective: we'll carry out every necessary colour test to make sure we obtain a final quality that's as close as possible to "offset" quality despite the constraints imposed by enamelling techniques and lengthy firing at very high temperatures.
