Excellent As Usual -
I find all of Lark's "500 Series" to be of top quality. Excellent photos, a wide varity of style and execution from the traditional to extreme. The type of book the internet is going to have a hard time replacing. Not only do I get new ideas for my own work, but exposure to artists I'm not familar with.

, simply quality bar stools

Interesing Pictures -
The only reason I gave this four stars intead of five is there was some amazing tile work and some I wondered "why they heck did they bother putting that in". I think they could have chosen a bit better on some of the pics but all in all it was an inspirational book.

500 Tiles should be titled "500 Inspirations" -
As a ceramic artist and sculptor, I find the "500" series of books quite inspirational. I especially appreciate the wide variety of techniques used by the individual artists. I live in Australia which in some ways is quite isolated from the ceramic world at large. People in isolation tend to develop their own culture. This is especially true in ceramics. By showing contemporary work being done in other countries, Lark again in this publication, has given the artist food for thought. And the many full-colour photographs give an insite into the techniques being developed by others.

From the book's title, I had expected to find page after page of ceramic wall tiles. But I was happily surprised to find that the book shows more or less flat (or relief) sculpture and is not limited to the sterotyped wall-only "tile" applications.

I would recommend this book to artist who work in clay or any other 3D medium. It especially makes a good read when you are suffering "artists block". There are so many examples of different types of work here, that you are bound to go back to your workbench with a wealth of new ideas.

Beautiful -
I own a handmade tile business. There was some inspiration to be found in these pages.

Great selections of branded hammocks at


- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!

Not What I Expected -
I am an all around arts and crafts person I thought I would find this interesting. It wasn't what I expected and I sent it back. It is a very large book with pages and pages of tiles...most I didn't like.
