Ceramic Handmade Tile Installations

I had to dig deep in my email archives to find these gems. These kitchen installation photos arrived back in January, but somehow I forgot to post them right away. The beautiful weather and renewal of life in this wonderful month of May reminded me that it is time to share pictures of this nature inspired kitchen: Above the stove are three 4"x4" art tiles: "Turtle" in Autumn Glaze, "Frog" in Leaf Green Glaze, and "Dragonfly" in Cinnamon. All of these designs were chosen in part because the can be installed on the diagonal. The installer did a fantastic job...

It took about 2 months for me to complete this set of over 600 leaf green tiles. Fortunately the homeowner was willing to wait. And she was also kind enough to share pictures of the completed kitchen!  She got the idea from this installation & I am impressed with how much it looks like the original concept, right down to the shallow condiment shelves on either side of the range: The 1"x6" border tiles around the shelves differ from the original installation, I made a new dot design for this job: (I smiled when I saw this picture, because I love nutiva...

I can hardly believe I got these beautiful installation pictures almost a month ago and I am only now posting them! I am currently working on several large orders, so I have been focused on making as many tiles as possible in my tiny studio. Blogging and updating this website have definitely taken a backseat to tile production of late. But I today I realized I don't want to wait any longer to share this pretty kitchen with you: The homeowners, with the help of designer Patsay Zakian-Greenough, selected an assortment of celadon glazed art tiles. Each design had special significance for...

When my lovely cousin, Andrea, sent me these pictures of her new kitchen, they nearly knocked my socks off! I haven't seen this kitchen in person , but from the pictures I can tell that it is a wonderfully inviting room, and I am thrilled that my tiles are part of it. It is hard to imagine a more perfect setting for a "Birds on a Branch" set in Buckwheat glaze. The light colored subway tiles are by Daltile. They are 3"x6" matte finish, and the color is almond, which harmonizes really well with the creamy art tiles. The texture in the stone...

..in a wood shop. More of the tiles I sent out last week have been installed! The good people of Woodcreek Furniture just sent me photographs of three projects they completed using my handmade tiles: two decorative mirrors and one Arts & Crafts style wooden frame. The frame looks so right around my 6"x6" Tree of Life tile in Watercolor Blue Glaze: Project two is a mirror that is surrounded by four of my 2"x2" animal tiles in spearmint glaze:  A close up of the animal tiles appears at the bottom of this page. Speaking of animals, I love the...

I sent out the first of my new rooster and bee tiles four short days ago, so I am surprised and delighted that I just received pictures of some of them installed. That was fast! This a great tile layout for a kitchen. I love how the slate wall tiles extend onto the counter in stripes. (more pictures below) The cinnamon glaze on the art tiles plays off the reds & browns in the stone. These designs have significance for the homeowners; a rooster and bee are historical symbols of the town in which they live. This local connection makes the installation...

This installation was a long time in the making. The customer ordered some art tiles, which I made and shipped to her. Then she realized that she needed more to complete her vision for her kitchen, so she ordered more. But Autumn is a high variation glaze which comes out different with every firing, so it took me several tries to match her original tiles. Fortunately, she was very patient & is now quite happy with the results. Yay! An assortment of handmade tiles are set among glass and slate mosaic tiles, surrounded by a ceramic border to make a...

Tree art is a natural choice for fireplace decor, since fireplaces burn wood & wood comes from trees. Using representations of trees in hearth design pays homage to the trees that are burned there. These installation photos I recently received are a great illustration of this idea. And as an added bonus, one of tree tiles featured is my brand new 4"x4" oak leaf tile. It looks great installed! Close up of the oak leaf tile in the afternoon sun. The color of the glaze looks so right with the stone tile and wood floor. Earth tones and neutrals blend together...
