As with any masterpiece, the "canvas" is the artist's fundamental tool. The murals are sculptured and fired from raw clay, to ensure a high quality. Envisioning something beyond the grid pattern formed by the square commercial tile, individual tiles are shaped to fit together in an eye catching free-form design. A mural combines the best of painting and sculpture in a work that is dramatic yet eminently functional.

Murals come to life in the glazing process. Using hand-painting and airbrush techniques, the colored images are bonded to the tile with a translucent outer glaze. The tile is then fired at extremely high temperature to permanently fuse pigment and clay. The color is guaranteed not to fade or peel.

Unlike many ceramists, we have mastered the unstable and often unpredictable red glazes and can incorporate this temperamental shade in a subtle accent or a bold splash.
