Shattered stained-glass window

Just like stained glass, the colours that you can achieve with ceramic glazes are vivid and intense. The similarity is more than visual – ceramic glazes are powdered glass that have been created to work with clay. The glaze melts and fuses to the tile during firing, making the surface waterproof and stain-proof. At Smink Studio we then screen-print liquid pigment onto the base glaze by hand. This allows rich, colourful installations that can be made bespoke for each project. Every tile will have subtle variations that bring to mind looking through a beautiful, if shattered, stained-glass window.

Tiles: QC1, QC3, ALL1 and solid white or cream
