We can design a stained glass ceramic tile design, or you can purchase a stained glass pattern and send it to us to create in durable ceramic tile.

the process

This is a VERY tedious process. It's basically the same process as creating stained glass, except there isn't any leading. You use grout to create the leading effect during the tile installation. I suggest a charcoal sanded grout.

To begin, I start with designing a stained glass pattern. I enlarge it to the required size, make two copies; one for layout and the other for cutting the ceramic tile pieces.

I make large slabs of clay, fire them to a fully vitrified state, trace each shape onto the slabs, and then carefully and skillfully cut each tile out on a wet saw.

The pieces are then transferred to a stained glass wet grinder for fine sanding. Each piece is then hand-glazed to YOUR colors and fired to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

The final step is to lay each finished piece onto the template and then film-mount the design for a quick and easy installation.

$175 - $250.00 per square foot (PSF), depending on the intricacy of your design.
