Omogeneo

For centuries the extraction of clays by small furnaces has been done manually. After wetting the clay mixture with hoes, trying to uniform the mixture which normally is rather rough and cooking, clays of different nature show with knots of different colour and intensity. The clay used for the Omogeneo tiles is made more homogeneous by shaping it manually instead of using kneading machines, which reduces far more internal blowholes and lumps. With appropriate mixtures of clays colour shades of this floor range from straw-yellow to pink to deep red.
