For some tiles, about three to
four inches in size. Mrs. Skeen
starts with a lump of refined
clay which she moWs into shape.
Then she may use small wood
cutting knives for putting in a
design, and special under-glaze
pencils or paints for sketchlitg or
painting on the tile.
The clay from which she makes
I fireplace tiles and some of her
j other ones is pre-formed.
“Deoending on the way I want
I the tile to look, I fire It at var-
I ious stages of my work,” Mrs.
I Skeen said. “I always fire it be-
I fore I add color. Because colors
' are soluble in water, the clay
I must be cxjmpletely dry before I
1 start painting.
“I use glazes on my tiles, again
: depending upon the effect I want,"
: she said.
I Working with tiles is nothing
I new to Mrs. Skeen. For many
rears, she has designed and made
tiles to go around fireplaces in
I many homes in the Southeast.
I In her own home she has off-
I white tiles with a pine branch de-
I sign around her living-room flre-
I olace. Each needle or limb of the
, pine bleeds from one tile to the
I next to give an Illusion of real
i pine branches glazed into the
j tile.
I Among the unusual requests
, Mrs. Skeen has filled in her tlle-
I making e.vperience were these:
! One man wanted eight tiles
with the pictures of the eight dif
ferent houses he had lived in. He,
was with a national company and
had been transferred many times
and wanted to place these tile* in
his Charlotte home.
Mrs. Skeen painted these pic
tures, working from photographs
which ranged in size from a small
snapshot to a 16 by 20 print.
Another request was. for a 48-
tUe mural of an underwater
, scene: ,
! "I’ll never forget the day I^
dropped and broke the tile that,
; went about in the middle of the
Dicture.” Mrs. Skee-n said. "I had!
to make another tile that would
blend with those around it—what ■
a job! I ended up having to re-do
j several of the tiles, instead of •
! just one.” 1
Some of the tiles in this mural ■
That Mrs. Skeen is wgll thought
of in the field of painting is evi
denced by these facts:
Ft)r three out of four years she
walked away with the Elliott O'
Hara watercolor award of th«
Guild of Charlotte Artists. Thh
award was a silver tray which
the winner was allowed to keep
for one year.
After the third year, they gave
thf tray to Mrs. Skeen and bought
another one.
And when she was displaying
her monoprints in Atlanta about
two years ago, Vincent Price
bought her entire portfolio of 50
monoprints.
Her baking activities are not
confined to firing tiles in a kiln.
According to her husband, L. E.
Skeen, she is equally adept at the
usual baking in the kitchen.
