What kind of paint do you use? I paint my tiles using  underglazes, the design is painted onto the unglazed tile in three to five layers, the tile is then kiln fired between the layers. A clear glaze, which becomes the glass coating in the final firing, is applied over the design and then the tile is kiln fired again.

Are the Tiles Food Safe?    Yes, all the pigment is below the glaze. The clear glaze is food safe.

How durable is the painted image? Because the paint is fired into the tile and then a clear glaze is  fired the image is extremely durable.

Will I know what my tiles will look like?. I will do a rough sketch at no charge. I will also do a detailed sketch to for you to  approve before the order is confirmed, but require $50 or $ 50% (whatever is less) in advance. This is a deposit which will be applied to your final tiles should you then decide to purchase them.

     

Can I have you match my colors or wallpaper?  Because the underglaze paint changes color when it is fired I can not guarantee a perfect match, but I can get it very, very close. I do require that you send in a sample of what you want matched.

What kind of design can you paint?  I can paint pretty much anything on tiles that you want. A custom painted mural should have personal meaning to you. I will paint your favorite place or things, just let me know what you want.

How soon can I get my tiles? Because of the time involved in painting and firing tiles it usually takes a minimum of  two weeks to complete  an order after the sketch is approved, for large jobs it will take more time.
