came upon this gorgeous site by chance, photos of tiles made by the
Zsolnay factory in Hungary, mid 1800s to WWI
Introduces an entirely new term 'eosin glazed pyrogranite' but gives an
interesting though teasingly brief description of process
Note. scroll down main page for photos of tiles. second page has photos
of studio/factory

Thanks, Stephanie, for this site. Although I've greatly admired Paul
Lewing's work since beginning clay almost 6 years ago when I also found
Clayart, I still have never quite gotten tiles........... even though my
Bailey extruder came with a tilemaker (well, for a couple hundred extra
bucks, it did), it sits in its original box awaiting the day when my
eyes&brain are more fully opened ... heart already is... I could with ease
envision commissioning Paul (if I could afford him) to create one of his
murals for our forgotten bathroom, which needs something very special ...
(have you seen Paul's work.....
talk about art!! Of course, he IS an artist ... nevertheless, his work is
extraordinary..) but I could never feature working with tiles for me.. even
though that famous tile book was one of the first five clay books I
purchased.
Now I can consider such a variation to the journey ........ something
clicked ... said that such beauty, skill, artistry is worth striving to
emulate.... with full knowledge that I'll never get there..... still, if
you're gonna' dream......

In the Mojave saying that the mayor is fine... not sick..... drive crashed,
other clay-related deadlines to be met, and a workshop or two in the
offing..... I'm tagged.... my pleasure.... if for no other reason than
payback for all that Clayart and claybuds have heaped upon me...

Those are some incredible tiles. I'd love to see them installed in an
actual site.
Really gorgeous. I saw some glazes like those on a few pieces at the
Stanford Museum of Art.
very coppery.
Thanks Stephani
