Portuguese Tiles

1/29/2016

0 Comments

 

Portuguese tiles are a cultural heritage and a continued tradition.
They are used to waterproff walls giving more durability to constructions but the main importance is taht they were, and are, works of art outside and inside the houses, churches, palaces and even as street art.
Instead of Fresco (like in Intaly) we have azulejo (tile) and we are lucky because they are still in his place and don't need so much interventions.
Aldo they are more easy to steal and have been seatled and sold.

Artisans still do handpainted tiles. Some factories too. Factories also continue to make stenciled tiles and creating new patterns.

Recently I began painting tiles. Using the antique technique I recreate old patterns and figures.
First I use a photo from old tiles in place and trace them with transparent paper.
​
The paper is them perforated along the lines with a pin.
Laying the paper carefully over the raw tile I cover the paper with charcoal powder making doted lines apear on the surface.

The inks are metal oxides powder mixed into water. They are not soluble so his density deppends on being allways mixed every time we use the brush.
teh brush strokes are instantly aborved by the surface, so is the colour whar makes tile painting almost impossible to erase or paint over to change a mistake. It also makes the brush strokes visible even after turned into glaze.
The tiles needs to be burned (second time) in a kiln to turn the metal oxides in a glass like cover.
They are resistant to time, weather, rain, cold, warm, etc. They just need to be transported carefully befor being applied on a wall or frame.

Enquanto estou em casa, com gripe (mais uma). Dei finalmente uma oportunidade ao instagram.
Ainda não percebi como funcionar com ele para fotos mais antigas e para os meus artigos do Etsy. Parece que só consigo publicar imagens guardadas no dispositivo que estou a usar ou fotos acabadas de tirar. Quem me ajuda?
---------------------------------
While I am at home with a flu, finally gave a chance to Instagram. Not quite sure how it works, it seams that can only use images that are already on the tablet/PC or fotos taken in that moment. How may I post images from my items at Etsy? Ho Helps?

OMG....This have been a surprise. When Debbie from WORKYOURART contacted me asking if I would mind to be interviewed I though: Why me? But didn't look back - Yes, of course.
If I was thinking that I was not important and known enough to be choosen this is the oportunity to climb a step.
This week reading Debie's newsletter I felt mirrored in some points and found tips that looked like that were just for me; must be an ilusion but I am feeling lucky.
