screenprinted
tiles
Screenprinting
offers a degree of precision not achievable by hand painting, as shown by
the tiles
chosen for this gallery. Any motif of your own choice can be used to create
a pattern suitable for
a tile inset and a running border totally exclusive to you.
Pheasant, Hare and Countryside were created using scraper board technique
on acetate to recreate
the look of traditional one colour book illustration. They pay homage to the
immensely skilled
commercial artists whose work was rarely credited.
"Tracks & Logos" were created for a client with very specific
instructions. Only with screen printing
can one get such fine and precise images. They were printed onto white tiles
to ensure that the colours
were exactly right and then sponged around the edges to match the light grey
tiles they were set with.
"Bull's head" and "number 2" are good examples of commercial
applications for screenprinted tiles.
The former, taken from an old compliment slip, took pride of place above the
counter in a butcher's
shop. The latter was for the stairwell in a multi story car park with different
colours for each floor.
