About the Book

Your kitchen backsplash will still be there in thirty years. Most craft projects will not.

Handmade ceramic tiles are permanent. Once mortared into a wall and grouted, they become part of the architecture of a room, holding the glaze colors and surface textures you chose for decades. That is what makes this craft worth learning properly, and it is exactly what this book teaches from the first page to the last.

Starting from raw clay and ending with a sealed, grouted, finished installation, every technique in this book is built around one standard: tiles that stay on the wall for a generation.

What You Will Learn:

  • Clay body selection - why stoneware outperforms earthenware in kitchens, bathrooms, and wet areas
  • Slab construction - the guide-stick method, shrinkage calculations, and flat-drying techniques that save entire batches
  • Surface decoration - six techniques including sgraffito, mishima inlay, underglaze painting, and stamping
  • Glaze science - cone temperatures, food-safe formulations, and how to prevent crazing before it happens
  • Kiln loading and firing - step-by-step schedules for both bisque and glaze firings in a home electric kiln
  • Professional installation - substrates, waterproofing, thin-set, grouting, and silicone joints done right
Also Inside:
  • 25 projects organized by room: 8 kitchen designs, 9 bathroom applications, and 8 home decor pieces including fireplace surrounds, garden stepping stones, and framed wall panels
  • Safety guidance written to professional studio standards for silica dust, glaze chemicals, and kiln operation

No pottery wheel is needed. A basic home studio kiln is enough. What is required is the willingness to learn a process that produces something no showroom carries.

Your first project is one decision away. Pick it up and start.
