Wildflowers

Our New Wildflower Tile Mural

We were very happy to work with local clients on this bespoke wild flower mural. They run a family farm in the area and have been keen to establish a number of wild flower meadows on their land. This mural was to be the focal point in their farmhouse kitchen – something to intrigue visitors as well as being fun for the family to look at every day.

Planning the mural

When they approached us with the idea we spent time discussing different ways of showing the meadow but we felt that featuring all their favourite plants individually and with name tags would be the most effective. There are a range of flowers shown as well as several varieties of meadow grasses. We also included butterflies and bees as well as a little dormouse peeping out at the bottom of the mural. and the eagle eyed will also spot a few tiny ladybirds!

Painting the mural

We carried out a lot of research in order to have a good understanding of all the chosen plants that were to feature in the composition. After completing scale drawings to show the clients we started work hand painting each of the flowers and grasses, making small adjustments to the details along the way. The painting took several weeks to complete before it could be put into the kiln to make the painting permanent. It is always a lovely, if slightly nerve wracking, experience to take the tiles out of the kiln with their glossy finish, ready to be numbered, boxed up and delivered to their new home!
