About
Portugal has a long tradition of producing hand painted ceramic tile panels
Our studio in Monte Canelas is a former horse stable which has the space to lay out the raw glazed ceramic tiles on which we paint.
After painting the tiles are fired in our electric kiln to 1020 degree Celsius.
The garden walls at Quinta Velha serve as outside exhibits of ceramic tile murals by Venessa Lagrand and tiles painted by visiting artists
Artistic line
E art ware tiles hand painted with traditional & Local naive style as seen throughout the Algarve using old motives or designs.
Throughout Portugal decorative ceramic tiles are used widely and on older houses even cover whole of the facade.
We usually border panel work with our own unique scrolls.
We also reproduce 17th century Dutch tile images, first drawing the design and then painting it using cobalt blue ceramic paint.
