Ceramic furnishings - Flame Fireplace Surround

Flame fireplace uses a technique that I've come to love: joining together large slabs of clay to make an even larger background "canvas" (in this case 7'W x 5'H) and then sculpting the design onto the background. For me it is an additional delight to figure out how to cut the background into an appealing tile design that enhances the overall flame design. In effect, there are two designs here: the flames shooting out of the fireplace and the tile cuts.

If you are interested in a similar fireplace surround, please contact me. I am always happy to create something new which draws its inspiration from a similar source.
