After months of trial and error my dream of turning wine bottles into recycled glass tiles is realized. These are my first batch just out of the kiln. As you can see, the color of the wine bottle determines the color of the tile.
The dark greens and browns would be very striking in a craftsman style interior. I can really picture them on a tiled fireplace or kitchen hearth.
If you are interested in learning how to do this, I am now offering this workshop: “Turn a Wine Bottle into a Glass Art Tile”
