5000 Years of Tiles by Hans Van Lemmen Pdf

A comprehensive, full-color exploration of tile art and production worldwide, from earliest times to the present day. The book is both an authoritative work of reference and a visual delight, ranging from ancient Greece, where the first fired roof tiles date from as early as the third millennium BC, to twentieth-century Mexico. Along the way we encounter stunning examples of the tiler's art: the enormous English medieval floor pavements from Byland Abbey and Clarendon Palace; figural tiles from China, intended to adorn roofs and ward off evil; the famous Iznik tiles from the Islamic world, with their richly decorative patterns; the highly stylised ceramic tiles of the Arts and Crafts movement; and the tiles created by some of the finest ceramic artists and potters of the twenty-first century. Placing the tiles firmly in their historical and cultural context, the book highlights both continuity and diversity, the dissemination of techniques and designs, and how tile art in one time and place has inspired and rejuvenated those in others. Tiles are also studied in terms of function as well as form, and the full range of architectural and practical purposes for which they have been used - from floors to roofs, stoves to bathrooms, cathedrals to metro stations - will be explored, along with the various techniques employed to create such versatile pieces. 5000 Years of Tiles is the essential, most comprehensive single volume for anyone interested in the ceramic, decorative, and architectural arts.

Creating Custom Art Tiles by Jaye Slade Fletcher Pdf

This book walks you through two different methods of creating designs on your custom art tiles: ONE: Using clay slips to create designs, including tube-lining, stenciling, sgraffito and more, and TWO: working with presses (cookie presses, etc) to create unique relief designs on your own handmade tiles. 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.
