Behind the Tiles​

THE CRAFT

Each tile panel is decorated using different techniques. Some are hand-painted with ceramic glaze — individually made, exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces. Others are created through carefully chosen methods that allow for fine detail and gentle repetition, while still preserving the character of the original artwork.

​

While the process may vary, the care and attention remain the same — and so does the intention to create something lasting and personal.

FIRING

After decorating, the tiles are fired in a ceramic kiln at around 1000°C. The heat transforms the surface: glazes melt, colors deepen, and details settle into their final form. It is a process that combines patience with a bit of alchemy — the outcome is never fully predictable, and that is part of the beauty.

TILING & DISPLAY

These tile panels are made to bring beauty into daily life.

You can:

  • Frame them as wall art

  • Build them into a kitchen, bathroom, or outdoor wall

  • Use them as heat-resistant trivets for pans or bottles

  • Simply lean them against a shelf or wall as a decorative object
     

Each panel comes with a layout guide and numbering. Want to mount them permanently? I recommend using a plasterboard base with a small 1–2 mm joint. Prefer something temporary or flexible? A simple wooden frame or a few soft pads underneath will do just fine.

THE TILES

I work with a carefully selected range of ceramic tiles — ones that I know respond beautifully to the glazing and firing process. Because once fired, the outcome is never entirely predictable: surface glazes can shift, colors might fade or turn matte, and pre-glazed tiles can react in unexpected ways.

Through trial and experience, I have found a selection of tiles that consistently bring out the depth, color, and detail I am after. That is why not every tile type is suitable — but the ones I do use are of high quality and made to last.

If you have a specific project in mind or would like to discuss tile options, I am always happy to help.
