For today's post, I thought I would share an excerpt from our new free download How to Design, Make and Install Ceramic Tile Murals and Mosaics. In this excerpt, I am presenting a cool technique that Jerry Goldman came up with to make custom ceramic tile mosaics. He started out making mosaics out of shards of commercially manufactured tile, but this method didn't provide him with the colors he desired. So he came up with his own method of casting slab tiles with slip stained with metallic oxides and commercial stains.Already Registered? Please sign in.

About a month ago, we ran a feature by Laura Reutter about a surefire method of making flat ceramic tiles (to view this article, see the features archive at www.ceramicartsdaily.org). After we ran the feature, I received some requests for instructions on how to make plaster tile molds, like the molds Laura used in the feature. So today, we bring you a feature on just how to do that. This one comes to us from Gary Carlos. Been dreaming of a custom tile backsplash in your kitchen? These easy instructions can help make it a reality!
