handpainted
tiles
As an artist I am very interested in using different techniques to achieve
unusual textures
and finishes to the tiles I decorate. With Pond Life for example I have used
sponging, painting
and
sgraffito techniques as well as metallic glaze and different glaze mediums.
Klink and Zany
are handpainted, fired and then overlaid with a bright platinum ground sheet.
The Lemon and
Apple tree are sponged stencils with sgraffito.
The Delft tiles are straightforward, honest, hand painted tiles using traditional
brushstrokes.
There is a choice of corners, colours and with the Delft Style I can sketch
a scene for you from
your own source material. Spot the Avebury megalith!
I have included the Herb and Flower tiles as examples of contemporary fashionable
themes that are often requested.
