Customer Reviews

Excellent How-to book on Advanced Tile Making

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.
