The foreground motifs are glazed mosaics; the background is made with a process in which each color was silk screened onto the tile. We made about 300 square tiles, which were then transported to Rhode Island, where Jim and his helper applied underglaze, utilizing the silk screen process. That process was similar to how one would print a T-shirt or wallpaper, but instead of using ink, underglaze (a liquid, colored clay) passes through a stencil “burned” into a mesh screen.

Those tiles were returned to us at our studio, where then we applied clear gloss glaze.
