About This Book
A practical manual provides step-by-step guidance for working with colored cement to produce tiles, pottery, and garden ornaments. It covers materials and equipment, mold-making, mixing ratios (neat cement versus concrete), and forming plain, incised, relief, majolica, sgraffito, and modeled tiles, plus vases, bowls, mosaics, and flagstones. Chapters explain coloring methods, surface finishes, architectural and interior applications, and outdoor durability, with projects adaptable for schools and workshops. Patterns for designing tiles and practical tips for tools, plaster molds, and testing materials support both beginners and experienced craftworkers.
