Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Tired of those plain white bathroom tiles? Jones and Fanning show how to add color designs to existing tiles without an expensive replacement job. Tiles can be painted, decoupaged, and stenciled right on the wall, changing an unimaginative tiled surface to a work of art. For the ceramic artist with a kiln, there are general instructions and step-by-step projects for making, decorating, and mounting one's own clay tiles. This is a very practical book for public libraries on an often underutilized decorative feature.

Excellent How-to book on Advanced Tile Making,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handcrafted Ceramic Tiles (Hardcover)
This book contains excellent how-to information on everything from screen printing onto tiles, to mold-making, to decorating possibilities like stenciling, painting, and working with slips.The finished samples shown are not as inspirational as, say, Frank Giorgini's "Handmade Tiles" samples, but they show the possible results of the techniques outlined in the book and are nice. Excellent resource for tile makers, and would make a pretty good textbook for a tile class.
