Tile Commissions
For the last couple years I’ve been asked to do several major commissions that involved working with tile. Some have involved painting glazes onto commercial tile and refiring them. Others have been tiles designed and made by me. Temperature ranges and glazing techniques are varied and it’s all been a fun “New Territory” for me.
Look and see what you think. If you have a project in mind: address tiles, picture mural, kitchen bathroom wall area, outdoor patio, shower, whatever......
Give me a call. Let’s see if I can help. 928 782-1934
Thanks,
