The Process Behind My Ceramic Art Tiles in Longmont, CO
There's something gratifying about the process of making each ceramic art tile by hand. From start to finish, I'm involved in every step—designing, sculpting, pressing, glazing, and firing. No machines, no mass production—just careful, intentional work that brings each piece to life. Every handmade relief tile is created as part of my ceramic art tiles collection in my Longmont, Colorado, studio with time, patience, and attention to detail. Unlike commercial tiles that are mass-produced and uniform, handmade ceramic art tiles have a warmth and individuality that you can see and feel. Each tile has its own subtle variations in texture, glaze, and form—qualities that give it personality and charm. I use high-quality porcelain clay and non-toxic glazes, creating solid color tiles and hand-painted pieces resembling miniature watercolor paintings.
In the Studio
My studio is where every tile begins its journey—from a simple idea to a finished piece of art. It's a cozy, light-filled space filled with sketches, clay tools, glaze tests, and works in progress. This is where I spend most of my time drawing, pressing, carving, and experimenting with new ideas behind my artisan ceramic tiles.
Each day in the studio looks a little different. Some days are devoted to designing and sculpting new tile designs, while others are all about fixing newly pressed tiles or carefully hand-painting surfaces. I work in small batches to ensure each piece gets the attention it deserves.
