$30.00
5 3/4” x 5 3/4” x 3/8”
Thackery is a wee hedgehog who is sometimes overcome with the woes of the world. He worries about the financial crisis daily and don't even get him started on climate change! Sometimes he is blue and sometimes he is black, but he is never black and blue. He will do best in a home with happy people and lots of cupcakes.

The tile comes with four little silicon feet on the back so it can be used as a trivet with no slipping or scratching. They are great installed in a bathroom or kitchen or you can simply hang it on the wall.

*This listing is for Thackery is blue only; the others are just here to keep him company.

Process:
The image is slip-trailed in dark blue on unfired clay with a lighter wash applied with a brush. The tiles are fired once, glazed with a clear glaze and fired a second time. The tiles are suitable for light domestic use indoors or out: for kitchens, fireplace surrounds, bathrooms, and pools.
