A New Housename on Carved Ceramic Tiles With Seagulls On A Blue Background

Posted under At the Studio & House Names & Numbers & Recently Sold

Pat Reid commissioned this panel for her beach house. With the first attempt we used terracotta  with pressed seagulls as a one piece tile. This tile was left drying over a period of 8 weeks but cracked after the bisque fire.

With the second attempt we used 4 porcelain tiles, opting to carve the designs into the clay instead of pressing it as in the terracotta example.

I shall add a photo of the final installation to show why Pat is so proud of her house name.
