John Ewald & Peggy O'Toole: Sculptured Handmade Tile

Having installed commercial tile for more than thirty years in a third-generation business, fifteen years ago we became involved in the artistic process of making our own unique tiles to offer to our clients.

Beginning with raw clay, we experimented with different clay bodies, glazes,designs, and firings. The process has evolved and been developed since then to include an extensive variety of plaster-of-paris molds, allowing us to duplicate designs, as well as the detailed hand painting and airbrushing of tiles with an array of color.

We have four kilns, two of which we use to test new glazes in order to refine texture and color. In addition to the many available relief molds of flowers, fish, birds, and nature scenes, we are able to customize tiles according to our clients' designs. We have worked with customers to develop designs for installation of backsplashes, showers, bathtub surrounds, and fireplaces; customers' ideas range from wildflower borders to hummingbird scenes to medieval themes. Tiles can vary in size from as small as one inch square to as large as twenty inches square. Our tiles have also been shaped to become functional as toothbrush holders or soap dishes.
