The majority are porcelain and are sourced from France. They are 25mm ( 1 inch) square and are ideal for cutting with wheeled hand cutters. I like precision and often the tiles are cut extremely small especially with the cityscapes. The colours are soft and there is a good range of colours as well as glazed and unglazed versions. Alongside these, I also use a variety of glass both in tile form and sheets. I also use millefiori and other miscellaneous bits and pieces which I have collected over the years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5861cb8b5016e1614023adaf/1483412284256-30TQ8AGH4A37IMDKSB6W/High+Country+March08+jsnz0374+16.4.08+006.jpg Category of Examples - High Country Autumn Ref: jsnz0374 April 2008 Size: 600mm x 600mm 37 hours work This panel was inspired by a trip to the high country on South Island during a bad drought hence the sheep looking mournful.
