And The Wall Beckoned - Come - Invite Your Friends - Let’s Be Merry!

Posted under Ceramic art Tiles & Tips of the Trade

This wall has been changed with the addition of a custom made Tile Panel bringing life and functionality to a often overlooked area for exterior design - the PATIO!

Our designers presented a delft style bird theme picking up on the blues and scrolls as can be seen on the pots in front of the wall.

The background was glazed using several techniques to diffusing the glaze so as to mimic an old antique patina.

“When we braai, the wall can now be safely used by us males … just one wipe and it is clean - no repainting after every stain!”

Visually the arttile panel enhances this outdoor area, the blues have a cooling effect in the summer and the birds will engage all your guests in happy conversation.

The wall was accurately pre-measured and then scaled to allow for shrinkage during firing. No cutting was necessary around all the metal work at four points or anywhere else - and this on a wall that is crooked with no squared corners. The tiles were delivered all numbered to match a corresponding diagram that the contractor could use when installing an intricate ceramic mural like this.

Revive A Wall - a small decorative alteration with a HUGE EFFECT!
