Developing the colour palette and then to have it successfully produced is extremely complicated and any action during this process must never be underestimated! Just the application during hand dipping will make a difference and during the heat of summer the evaporation from the glazes will provide surprisingly different results ... far from the desired colours that is part of the brief! The ultimate arrangement of the tiles on the templates and then seeing the labeled boxes leave, that is real satisfaction. The cherry on top is the feedback from a happy client ... but this is a bonus, that surprise us while grappling with the solutions of the next project!

The mottled greens are lovely and we already have a picture of this village in our minds. Waving palm trees for one, inspired by these lovely greens - and a roxy bench on a patio overlooking the sea! You will have to go there once this project is completed and supply the rest of us with pictures so we can dream on!
