500 Tiles An Inspiring Collection of International Work

From press-molded pieces to carved works showcasing spectacular surface treatments, these magnificent tiles will inspire beginners and professionals, as well as collectors and enthusiasts. Some of the larger handcrafted displays here were made to decorate public and private spaces; others use single tiles to interpret nature, tell a story, or make a bold cultural observation. As always in this acclaimed series, all the contributors are accomplished artists, renowned in the field. Mary Lynn Buss creates the ultimate kitchen backsplash: a field of mosaic-tiled long-necked irises. Peter King and his wife and working partner Xinia Marin fashion large, expressively rendered, and sculptural installations. And Melody Ellis's low-relief earthenware tiles pack intriguing narratives into every tile.Tourtillott, Suzanne J.
