Jesús and Javier Carbajales manufacture the pieces in a completely handcrafted process. The first stage in creating the models can take several days of testing and hard work. Once the models are ready, they are reproduced to start testing the colors. This stage takes even longer, since it means painting the models and putting them in the kiln in order to observe the final product. In some case, extra accessories are also added to the models. 

When the new model is ready, the production stage takes place and here hundreds or thousands of pieces are reproduced. These pieces will be hand-carved by the craftsmen following the artist´s instructions and put into the kiln.Then the pieces are hand-painted by other craftsmen dedicated to this task and put into the kiln once again to obtain the final product.

Following this, every piece is examined by a group of people who verify if they meet the high quality criteria established by the artists Jesus and Javier Carbajales.

Modeling : creating the pieces can take tens of sketches on paper and several days of work with clay.
 

Carving : every piece is hand-carved according to the artists training.
