Your kitchen backsplash will still be there in thirty years. Most craft projects will not.
Handmade ceramic tiles are permanent. Once mortared into a wall and grouted, they become part of the architecture of a room, holding the glaze colors and surface textures you chose for decades. That is what makes this craft worth learning properly, and it is exactly what this book teaches from the first page to the last.
Starting from raw clay and ending with a sealed, grouted, finished installation, every technique in this book is built around one standard: tiles that stay on the wall for a generation.
