Inspired by European etchings and engravings of the 17th and 18th centuries, Tiepolo Tileworks features screen printed borders, field and deco tile. The tiles illustrate characters, scenes, patterns and drawings from both the imaginative and objective worlds.
Every tile starts with natural clay, which is hand-rolled, then exposed to air so it dries slightly. Shapes are then cut and artistically manipulated to create proprietary textures before the images are screen printed and glaze is applied.
It is the inherent contrast between the fine detail of the original artwork and the handmade tile on which it is reborn that gives each Tiepolo tile its special appeal.
