Hand-made Architectural Ceramics

Architectural Ceramics have adorned homes and buildings throughout civilized history. Europe, the Middle East and the East has a long tradition of utilizing tiles in their décor from the garden to every room of their homes and businesses. Building facades are decorated with unique architectural ceramic designs and sculptural elements that create mood and ambiance. Hand-made tiles have been incorporated as an aesthetic element from the Ishtar Gate in Babylon to King Darius’ Palace at Susa. These creations have weathered the centuries and are prized to this day, often as works of art.

The American Tile Traditions
The New World continued the hand-made tile tradition in California with the colonial Spanish designs. Tiles were again the rage during the Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Arts and Crafts periods. Then the Industrial Revolution manufactured the mass-produced tile with its quality precision and high quantity production ability. The individualized design, detail and warmth of the hand-made tile was lost.

The Return to Fine Design
A resurgence in quality and artistic expression has begun. Now you can have that old world tradition of hand-made architectural ceramic artwork adorning your home or business. You can combine the mass-produced field tiles with personalized, hand-made sculptured tiles to create a luxurious environment that will endure over time.
