A must have for all tile-makers!

I have been an collector of pottery and tiles for many years. After signing up for a class to make tiles, I purchased this book. It has wonderful detailed explanations and illustrations of many tile making and decorating techniques. I refer to it often and enjoy looking at the many beautiful handmade tiles in this book. If you love working with and collecting pottery like I do . . . GET THIS BOOK!!

Excellent Resource Book

This is a well written book full of good advice and sound techniques. It provides good step by step photographs of each technique that shows each process clearly. The book also provides a great range of images for inspiration and ideas. An excellent book for beginners through to the experienced.

tile making

Anyone wanting to learn about making clay tiles and tile moulds would enjoy this book. A wealth of information. It gets the big tick.

VERY nice, overall primer to tile making. BEGINNERS will love this book!

I have been accumulating ceramic tile books for some time, and this one is very good as a beginner volume showing several differing techniques on how to make your own tiles, as well as paint and fire existing tiles. It shows how to make differing shapes, how to glaze & carve, as well as how to properly install what you've created. There is a little bit of everything in this volume, as well as very clear instructions and photographs. I enjoyed reading this very much, and will refer to it more in the future as I work in tiles.

Making and Installing Handmade Tiles

Very good info, and enough of it was unique enough to make it well worth purchasing over some of the other Tile How-to books. Good source for anyone, such as myself, who is interested in delving into a new avocation.
