Sculpted Tile
Art
by Teresa Carey |

|
Master
tiles were meticulously carved and sculpted, using line
drawings as a
guide,
then a mold of each tile was made after being fired
in an electric kiln.
Copies of the tiles are created by pressing clay
(either terra cotta or porcelain) into the mold.
Each tile is fired
twice, the second time after being treated with an coloured oxide wash.
Many
of the subjects for these tiles were taken from etchings on
the backs of bronze mirrors,
and some from wood cuts or shards of
pottery, and other sources.
Most of the examples here are taken from Ancient Italy or the Etruscan
civilization, but Celtic,
American, and Middle Age Europe are also represented. I continue to
work on new subjects.
In
the future I plan to create tiles of a number of Tarot Cards.
I am also keen to learn what other subjects might
interest people. Custom orders are invited.
Tiles
are available in:
~Porcelain with---Green, Blue, Blue-Green, Gold, Rust, or Black oxide washes/stains~ ~Also available in Terra Cotta (Clay fires to Orange/Rust)~ ~Custom Painted (Choose your colors) ~ ~Custom Glazed (Choose your colors)~
