Garden Party ceramic and mosaic wall art framed in vintage Indian window frame.
For the past two or three years, a group of ladies from Alabama make a stop at our studio on their way north where they visit family. It is good fun to visit with them. They each have several pieces of our work and so kindly have shared photos with us of the artwork in their environments. We do love seeing where our artwork makes its new home!
Mid Century Blossoms
Shipping to Australia…
Just getting this Mid Century inspired, mounted clay tile mosaic wall art ready to ship to Australia today! It’s a great feeling to know that we can share our work, not only in our own neck of the woods, but also worldwide. We have to give a shout out to etsy here, as etsy is our online storefront which allows us to reach customers all around the world right from the comfort of our small studio in southern Indiana.
After slab rolling stoneware clay, we hand carve the design into the clay. After bisque firing, glazing, firing and a trip to the raku pit, we then gild the lilly by adding magnesite, coral, jade, amethyst, and cultured pearl. It is then grouted and mounted so that it may be hung as colorful wall art. This piece is approximately 4.75” x 12.75” x 1.5”
We have never been to Australia but it’s on the list! We follow a few Australian artists and Tammy Kanat, a weaver, is a standout among them. Her work is wonderfully colorful with intriguing patterns and textures. Have a look!

Repurposed Vintage Indian Teak Shutters with Handmade Ceramic Tile Mosaic Art
What a beautiful day today! We’ve got a breeze blowing through the studio and the birds are whistling while we work! #ilovemyjob As we are doing a little rearranging, we set these repurposed shutters outside the studio door. Made a nice pic, we think!
Besides placing these on either side of a window, we find that a lot of customers like to use these in to soften the look of a large flatscreen tv wall. They also make a great focal point at the end of a hallway. And we have had several customers use them outside on covered porches. Also great for a bathroom.
We refreshed this set of vintage Indian teak shutters with our hand carved stoneware clay tile mosaics. We are inspired by ethnic patterns and have included some of our favorites here. Some of the semiprecious stones included in these pieces are cultured pearl, amethyst, jade, magnesite and coral. Overall Dimensions: 11” x 47” each or put together 22” x 47” They are a one of a kind set. Find them here>>
Peacock Pair
Fortunately we had a pretty day yesterday and snapped a shot of “Peacock Pair” just outside our studio. This handcarved stoneware clay tile mosaic piece we show here is actually made up of several tiles (we carve the slab clay and then cut into separate tiles) and then the tiles are set into one of our “finds,” a repurposed vintage frame that we painted black. Semiprecious stones included in this mosaic are cultured pearl, amethyst, jade, magnesite and coral. This is a statement piece. Overall Dimensions: 29.5” x 29.5” x 2.5”
You can find it (and more!) in our booth at Cincinnati’s Summerfair this weekend, May 31-June 2! Shop early for best selection!
Turns out that these wall art pieces were birthday and Christmas gifts for one of our clients who so generously shared these pictures of them in place in her beautiful home! It makes us happy to see the many different homes where our artwork resides.

Here's the working sketch and start of another custom piece we are currently working on. The client has fond memories of a California trip and was struck by the blue birds seen there. A pair of blue birds will be incorporated in this piece.
Custom wall art for a local friend. What a pretty home for this piece... it is really satisfying to see where our art work ends up!
