Beautiful Custom Sign for City of Concord

by fireclaytile on December 24, 2009

We are so proud to have been chosen by Flouresco and the City of Concord, CA to help make 24 custom signs for kiosks around the city town. This was a fairly extensive project, and one that had several hurdles, but in the end the final product looks fantastic!

To make the signs we water-jet cut sheets of Claymonde and then hand-painted them using the specific artwork (brought to life by our designer, Laura Oster). We then fired the ceramic sheets in our roller kiln, and out emerged an absolutely beautiful, hand-made ceramic sign that will last the City of Concord forever!

Kellee Black, the project manager from Flouresco, had the following to say about Fireclay Tile: “This has been a very challenging project. I did not have much faith in Fireclay when we started due to all of the delays for various reasons and my frustration in trying to get a hold of you. However once we actually got to move forward, my faith was restored, and enhanced. I cannot speak highly enough of what you have done for this project to help make it happen. It’s funny how we both tried to convince the customer of the very end product they chose. I would definitely recommend and use you for any future projects that we encounter with the same application. That little shop bangs out some awesome product.”
