If You Are Thinking Of Making Your Own Tiles, Start Here February 10, 1999
26 out of 26 found this review helpful

The tile making techniques described in this book are very easy to understand and the color photos of various artist's tiles are inspiring. If you have any interest in handmade tile, I highly recommend this book. My favorite chapter was the one called "The Day Of One Hundred Tiles", in which the author describes how he made 600 commemerative tiles for the Tile Heritage Foundation. Anyone can make one tile---but how do you make 600 efficiently? Read this book to find out.

Excellent! A very informative book for both beginners and experienced hand-builders. Frank Giorgini gives step by step instructions for a variety of tile making and hanging techniques. His instructions are clear enough for beginners, yet serve as an excellent overview for more experienced potters. He also adds instructions and tips for the production tile maker that will help you save time and steps. The book is also loaded with color photos of tiles and tile murals. It is a wonderful source for ideas... my copy is ragged with post-it notes marking pages from which I am planning to adapt projects.
