Ceramic Tile Art

I made an appointment to see Al to show him my drawings and specifications for my remodel. To make a long story short, with Al's direction, guidance and experience, Al did the most amazing, beautiful fabrication of my Quartzite and Marble counters. This gentleman is a true artisan, of which there are very few. Ofer's measuring is still the most precise and detailed, making exact templates. I had 2 bathroom vanity counters and a dressing room vanity. In the master bath and dressing rooms I did double bullnose edging. Many fabricators when doing edges and back splashes, will kinda match the patterns in the stone going from counter to backsplash or counter to edges. But in every fabrication I have seen, if there is a pattern in the stone unfortunately it is not continued to the back splashes or edges - the pattern always appears to be offset about 1/2 to 1inch. Al's fabrications were impeccable. When cutting the stone he cut it in a way to make sure the design pattern continued, so that the edges all looked like one piece, though it was a double bullnose, and the transition from counter to back splash again was a smooth transition making it a continuous look. What I am trying to say is the "design within the stone" transitions from one area to another were not offset. It is just beautiful. Al, Ofer and the entire crew are true artisans. Thank you for all your hard work and for my beautiful counters.
