Posted under Feedback From Clients & Kitchens Tiles & Where can I use these tiles?
Some extracts from an inquiry:
“Through my supplier in Plett, i’ve ordered some ceramic handmade tile with specific color for our bakery in Plett…unfortunately, i didn’t order enough of them and need to know if i could order more of them…I”ve attached a picture of the color needed and hope you will be able to help me..
Those tiles were made in august 2006 by your studio.
thanks a lot…
Good news Gerrit ! am so glad you could help…!
Perfect Gerrit! am glad you found the original order… EFT transfer has been made on Saturday…let me know when the order is ready…can’t wait !!
thank a mil,
Regards
Florence”
Four years later, it says a lot, doesn’t it?! - Nowhere else will a client find a service like this, to match colours, as drawn from the original order, in this case from Merchant Tiler for Christoff builders in 2006!
These colours Blue 13D blue sky, Chocolate brown chocolate, Red 17L pink, Brown 10L green olive and Blue 13L light blue had to be tested first to check for colour continuity before producing the actual order. The green olive and pink took several tests while the blues were a bit more straight forward!
Make sure to visit Le Fournil in Plettenberg Bay, or plan to visit it, … as the handmade tiles promise to be a yummy feast for the eye!
And a short testimonial:
“Yes Gerrit ! Everything is in order, received the tiles yesterday and very happy with Southern Art Ceramic communication which I found very efficient ! Looking forward to meet you and show you the bakery next time you are in Plett .
Regards,
Florence”

This certainly is a big compliment, Gerrit! You not only provide work of excellent quality but this shows that your studio is well run too. How you are going to manage to match these colours again though is beyond me!! But that is where your team’s expertise and instinctive feeling and knowledge of colour will come in. Good luck. Le Fournil is a bit too far from Holland but I can imagine that it will be a “yummy” feast - for the eye and for the palate!

Thank you, and yes all your comments are quite accurate - being successful means that we must constantly invest resources to help manage our enviable skill-set.
I have not seen the complete installation and will make an effort to view when visiting the Garden Route again.
