| This comprehensive, easy to-understand, and loving treatment of the art of handmade tiles provides a wealth of practical information, a touch of history, and a stunning array of color photography. Included are more than eighty "how-to" photographs of tile-making steps, techniques, and tools, as well as dozens of color photos of work by some of todays best tile artists.
The author guides the reader through setting up a workshop, selecting materials, purchasing and making tools and equipment, and designing, fabricating, firing, decorating, and installing tiles. Everything that the beginner needs to know is considered: making relief tiles, underglaze and glaze decoration, slip trailing, inlay, sgraffito, shellac resist, and impressing, as well as mosaics and the tile installation process.
