Bob goes to Tecate, Mexico, to meet tilemaker Javier Ramirez. Javier shows bob the different kinds of clays endemic to the Baja region of Mexico and shows how they are used in different types of tiles. Starting with the pulverizing of the clay then the mixing of the different types and the addition of water to make the material consistent. The tiles are made by hand then dried in the sun before being put in the kiln. Then hand painted in either the classic Mexican colors or modern hues. Bob admires the Baja Blue tile named after the color of the water in the Sea of Cortez. Javier walks Bob through the carvings and pieces both old and new. Ceramica JR�s corporate address is Box #67, Tecate, CA 91980. The phone number for the factory in Mexico is 011-526-654-2954. They should be able to help you find a distributor in your area.
