Tiles
Close to twenty years ago, I explored making mosaics. I never start small. I made a large table for my soon to be fiancé’. One thing led to another and I kept making mosaics which landed me on the set ABC’s “Extreme Makeover Home Edition” exhausting myself during the installation of 4 mosaic bathrooms, a mosaic 8’ table, and mosaic fire-pit in seven days. I kept making mosaics with glass tile, with porcelain tile, with handmade, with Byzantine style, and painted tiles. I shipped mosaics for other people to install in their properties from Alaska to California and New York to Florida. At one point I traveled halfway around the world with my friend to physically see the oldest known mosaic on the planet (at that time) – an ancient map of Jerusalem that is over 2000 years old. Needless to say – I dig tile! They have since found an older mosaic than the one I visited years ago that was under water until the year 2000. When I stop making pottery and tiles, I’ll have to plan a trip to Greece and Turkey to see that one next!

Custom projects have the ability to specify color preferences, styles, and area of tile required for your project. I work with clay or glass for custom tile work.

With custom tile, I am happy to help transform the places you call home with extreme makeovers as well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy hand decorated tiles start with a commercially-made unglazed tile; in this case - from Italy. Each tile is cleaned before I draw my doodles in pencil. The doodles are then traced in a wax-like substance to form barriers to keep the glaze colors separated. This process (cuerda seca) originated in the 14th century in Asia and then was further refined in the 15th century in Turkey. I love Moroccan, Persian, and Spanish tile repetition of design across tiles; however in this series I use folk-patterns influenced from my Lithuanian heritage. Each color is squirted into its section of the design separately where the wax-like barrier substance prevents glazes from mixing together or crossing lines when they are heated in a ceramic kiln to a temperature just over 1800 degrees F. The handmade nature and uncontrollable kiln environment sometimes results in places where colors mix or blend slightly, but this is less-frequent with this technique than with other glazing

Each tile is cleaned before I draw my doodles in pencil. The doodles are then traced in a wax-like substance to form barriers to keep the glaze colors separated. This process (cuerda seca) originated in the 14th century in Asia and then was further refined in the 15th century in Turkey. I love Moroccan, Persian, and Spanish tile repetition of design across tiles; however in this series I use folk-patterns influenced from my Lithuanian heritage. Each color is squirted into its section of the design separately where the wax-like barrier substance prevents glazes from mixing together or crossing lines when they are heated in a ceramic kiln to a temperature just over 1800 degrees F.

Each design is custom designed by me and sculpted prior to a mold being made. Once the mold of that design ages out, I can either retire the design or sculpt a new similar style. I can achieve about 100 tiles per mold before the molds start to degrade. The designs are therefore duplicatable to an extent. They are hand painted and colors may vary to the clients wishes. They are made with a place to hang on a nail decoratively or they can be installed as accent tile in a wall, pool, table, counter, or floor application.

They are turned over, re-centered, and trimmed when the clay has been allowed to dry slightly. Sometimes I also start with slabs of clay that are then hand-built into their shapes vs. on the wheel. Handles and other clay additions are then added and the piece is allowed to dry very slowly to prevent warping or cracking. When the piece is completely bone dry it is fired in a kiln (think big clay oven) to a temperature of just over 1800 degrees F. After this first firing, the piece is then decorated with glazes that a much like a slurry of powdered glass in water and often do not look anything like their finished colors. When the glaze is dry, each piece is carefully loaded back into the kiln to be fired again to a temperature over 2200 degrees F. This work is considered \"mid-range\" temperature pottery fired to Cone 6-7 upon completion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","published_at":"2020-09-11T14:56:52-04:00","created_at":"2020-09-11T14:46:46-04:00","vendor":"Amy Lee Pottery","type":"Pottery","tags":["Bee","Brands_Amy Lee Pottery","Dragonfly","Handmade","Heirloom","Porcelain","Pottery","Tile"],"price":2200,"price_min":2200,"price_max":2200,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":32342519447639,"title":"Hungry Lure Fish with Blue Rim, Orange Background, and Various Colored Angler Fish","option1":"Hungry Lure Fish with Blue Rim, Orange Background, and Various Colored Angler Fish","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"1SA","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":14565188862039,"product_id":4615355465815,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-09-11T14:52:36-04:00","updated_at":"2020-09-11T14:52:36-04:00","alt":null,"width":3024,"height":3024,"src":"\/\/amyleepottery.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/IMG_7933.jpg?v=1599850356","variant_ids":[32342519447639]},"available":false,"name":"Custom Hand Pressed Tiles -

Each design is custom designed by me and sculpted prior to a mold being made. Once the mold of that design ages out, I can either retire the design or sculpt a new similar style. I can achieve about 100 tiles per mold before the molds start to degrade. The designs are therefore duplicatable to an extent. They are hand painted and colors may vary to the clients wishes. They are made with a place to hang on a nail decoratively or they can be installed as accent tile in a wall, pool, table, counter, or floor application. They are suitable for use outside and in freeze-thaw environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen inventory is depleted, this item order will be placed as: \u003cspan\u003eMade to Order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Timeframe for delivery is typically 6-8 weeks from order depending upon the humidity in my studio for drying handmade clay items.

They are turned over, re-centered, and trimmed when the clay has been allowed to dry slightly. Sometimes I also start with slabs of clay that are then hand-built into their shapes vs. on the wheel. Handles and other clay additions are then added and the piece is allowed to dry very slowly to prevent warping or cracking. When the piece is completely bone dry it is fired in a kiln (think big clay oven) to a temperature of just over 1800 degrees F. After this first firing, the piece is then decorated with glazes that a much like a slurry of powdered glass in water and often do not look anything like their finished colors. When the glaze is dry, each piece is carefully loaded back into the kiln to be fired again to a temperature over 2200 degrees F. This work is considered \"mid-range\" temperature pottery fired to Cone 6-7 upon completion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e"}
