Description
Decorative tiles have featured as an architectural ornament in many cultures throughout history. Decorative Tiling for the Home allows you to make the most of this versatile and popular art form, showing step-by-step how to paint, stencil, stamp, gild and embellish your own tiles, as well as making the most of designing with ready-made tiles. Following an introduction exploring the traditions and stylistic influences of tile-making, the book then goes on to feature a section on hand-painting tiles, with over 30 tile designs by today's leading artists. Original designs are included along with historical interpretations. Practical projects on how to use tiles to decorate other three-dimensional objects such as pots and furniture are also included, along with a comprehensive techniques section covering the basics of laying and cutting tiles. Finally, there is a section detailing all the materials and equipment you will need.
