Handmade Tiles: Designing * Making * Decorating (A Lark Ceramics Book)

Rating:
Summary: inspirational!
Review: This is one of two de facto textbooks those of us making tiles use. (The other is Handcrafted Ceramic Tiles by Janis Fanning)

The book is an excellent introduction to the techniques used, but you must remember, Frank has been doing this for a long time. There are some techniques he shows that should not be tried at home (or without teacher supervision).

The best part of the book for me was the color photo samples of tile installations. The book is an excellent resource for everything from tessellations to tile painting. Inspirational. Highly recommended.

Summary: buy this book
Review: This was my first tile book. I have bought several others, and love many, but turn to Handmade Tiles regularly for quick information. It contains great information without that text book feeling. The tiles pictured in the book are whimsical and inspiring. If you are buying one tile book, this is the one to buy.
