Over the summer I have been working my way through a host of rather tricky commissions, time consuming both in thought and execution. All now collected and thankfully appreciated. This tile panel is for the back of a range, each panel of six to be mounted on either side of a stove pipe.
As they had to be a specific size it seemed worthwhile to make a die, extrude them in one long length and cut them. This also meant that they were far less prone to warp. Dried slowly between boards, they were delightfully flat.
Next up a large plate for a 90th birthday. The recipient had planted and tended a deciduous wood and has a large extended family.

After that a celtic design plate seemed pretty straightforward.

And as for those penguins...
And that car....
The joy of tile off cuts, commissions are ok but it's a relief to play.
