Handmade Tile

One of the most rewarding parts of being an artist is connecting with other creators whose work inspires me. That’s why I’m over the moon (pun intended!) to share this special story of an art exchange with the incredibly talented Sylvie Abecassis. Sylvie is one of my absolute favorite artists, so it’s a dream come true that she chose my moon tiles to be part of her bathroom. Here are the moon tiles in their new home, and seeing them installed in her beautiful space truly makes my heart sing. What’s even more special is that Sylvie and I seem...

I’m thrilled to share this incredible bathroom remodel by fellow Ohio artist, Angela of "Cultivate Your Creative" and her husband. They took on this project entirely themselves, and the result is nothing short of amazing! What truly stands out in this remodel is the way the handmade art tiles seem to cascade beneath the showerhead, creating the illusion of a serene waterfall. The design evokes a peaceful, calming vibe, transforming the space into a tranquil oasis. It’s the perfect blend of artistry and functionality—where every detail contributes to a relaxing atmosphere. Angela mentioned that they are so happy with how...

I just have to share this incredible project by a very talented woodworker in New York state! W.S. built this stunning oak mantle and installed the tiles himself, and I’m completely in awe of how it all came together. W.S. chose feature tiles from my catalog that have a special meaning for him. These tiles are glazed in "spearmint," a soft and versatile green. To go with them, he picked "glossy jade" field tiles from Mineral Tiles, and I can barely believe how perfectly the two brands of tiles blend together—it’s truly a match made in heaven! One of the...

Customer installation photos are one of the things that keep me motivated. BIG thanks to C.S. in Louisiana for sending this photo and lovely note: "We are enjoying your beautiful handiwork in our kitchen and have received many compliments on the tiles. They are our favorite part of the remodel we've been working on for the last 4 months. We are just so happy to have found you on the Internet. We thank you for your talented artwork that we admire every day. We wish you continued success and happy creating what you clearly love." This kind of heartfelt feedback...

Update - 1/9/2025 Wow! I’ve been back at work for a week and have been absolutely amazed by the enthusiasm and support from all you wonderful people—thank you so much! I’m truly delighted, but also a bit concerned that reopening the webstore this month, as originally planned, might result in more work than I can handle within a reasonable timeframe. To manage demand and ensure I can give each project the care it deserves, I’ve decided to implement a new system for taking orders that allows me to schedule jobs, especially larger ones, in advance. Here’s how the new system...

You don't always have to replace everything to remodel a bathroom. Just ask J.P. who got a whole new look in both her bathrooms without replacing the solidly built vintage vanities that were already in place. Instead of tearing them out, she carefully selected and assortment of handmade tiles that enhanced what was already there. For both bathrooms, she asked me to add a light wash of black underglaze beneath the glaze to tone down the brightness and bring out detail. For the larger of the two bathrooms, the glaze is "honey:" In the words of the homeowner, "The little circles on...

A group of pictures just showed up in my inbox that demonstrate the impact of a single tile that was thoughtfully chosen and placed. The tile is a 6x6 inch sunflower in leaf green glaze, and it looks right at home in this picturesque setting in the Finger Lakes region. This looks like a magical place, and I am thrilled that one of my tiles is part of this lovely little retreat. This message was included with the pictures: "We did a total rebuild of a 600 sq ft cabin over the past couple years. My wife and I did all...

Doesn't this California pool with spa look appealing? What a magical place this must be to spend time in the water, surrounded by beauty. I made the autumn brown tiles that feature flowers approximately 2 years ago, before autumn glaze was discontinued. Here is what the flower tiles looked like before they left the studio: And here is what they look like today: I'm so glad these clients ordered the feature tiles when they did because autumn was the perfect choice for this project. It harmonizes beautifully with the commercial tiles they choose. The homeowners recently told me they still love the tiles,...
