Creating Custom Art Tiles: Stamps And Stencils

by Jaye Slade Fletcher

This book explains two different methods of creating designs on your custom art tiles-1. Rubber Art Stamps including where to purchase, what works, what doesn't, and 2. Commercially Available Stencils to create virtually any relief design on your tile. The custom tiles you see on the cover of this book were created by me, using the methods described in the book. You will also learn how to make a plaster mold of your newly-created prototype tile, so you can produce as many identical tiles as you wish. Filled with practical tips and short-cuts I've learned over the years, plus dozens of (b/w) photos, this book will guide you every step of the way. You should have basic knowledge of working with ceramic clay, modeling tools and kilns.
