Tile Artist's Bible

Bring colour and creativity to your hand-made or shop-brought tiles with this collection of 200 decorative designs. Every entry features a photograph of the finished design, a charted diagram, instructions in the order of work and advice on alternative colour variations. Each design can be used in a scheme and mixed and matched with others in the book. At-a-glance icons indicate degree of difficulty and appropriate application techniques for different shapes of tile. Core techniques are demonstrated with step-by-step photographs, from making moulds and transferring designs to decorating with paint, stamps, stencils, sgraffito and inlays. There is also useful information on suppliers and resources, as well as a gallery of inspirational examples from well-known tile artists.
