Absolutely lovely! Your work constantly amazes me; I get such creative ideas and motivation from watching your talented hands. You and your equally gifted wife 🥰 make the world a more beautiful place with your beautiful work. I aspire to one day do similarly lovely work. I noticed your big stamp - it’s the same one I have for underglaze transfers! One of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your talent with us🤗

Thanks for making this video…it’s rare to come across a slab based project by you. Love it how you explain while peppering it with life stories. Also like all our surface decoration vids. By the way, we haven’t seen printed phone books in India for more than a decade…but we do get newspaper even now and use those to dry clay :-) Regards.

You are welcome. We still have telephone books here, a bit of a waste of paper with everything online. If you get chance send a photo of your pottery. I follow a studio in India on Facebook. What is the clay like?

I use 1/4inch Luane plywood which is too thin to crack the tile if it were to warp, in fact the tile keeps it flat. I use epoxy glue which sets in 5 minutes and also PL construction adhesive which sets in 24 hours. I also add a small square of Luane on the back which allows me to screw a D hook on to hang from. I will show the back in the next video.

Hi Vaughan! Thanks again for a great video! I was wondering if you would be willing to share how you mount the tiles and frames and if you have any suggestions on how to hang them on a wall? I have made tiled artwork and I am struggling with how to hang them because of their weight. I have tried thinner backboard but that wants to warp after glueing the tiles on. Thank you! Have a great day, Monique

Thanks for another informative and creative video. Q: When you bisque fire the frames, are they stacked in any way, or are they single layer as in the glaze firing? I know you said to weight the corners, but can frames of similar dimension be stacked together in layers and weighted to stay flat? Cheers.

Yes I stack as long as they are totally flat, 3 high.
