introduction

Welcome to Delia Baker Hand Painted Tiles, based in Watford, Hertfordshire!

Assembled here is a diverse collection of tiles showcasing the many styles, subjects
and applications available. Some are bespoke, while others are from the standard
range included in the price list.

Clients supply their own tiles for me to decorate. The designs are then painted or
screen printed using on-glaze colours which, when fired to a high temperature in the
kiln, fuse with the tiles' original glaze to produce a permanent and durable finish.

I have decorated tiles for over twenty years and in this time been involved in many large
scale commissions, having painted, silk screen printed and stencilled countless murals,
panels and single tiles. I am also, forgive my vanity, a master of matching new to
existing tiles, saving the trouble and expense of retiling a whole room when minor
changes leave gaps on the walls. If you can find a tile the same size, thickness and
colour I may be able to help.

Most tiles are suitable for refiring in this way, though it is always good to check with me first
as I was once asked to create a mural on "tiles" that were actually cut marble.
