Leelanau Peninsula art tile was sculpted by Tonya. The 'Destination Tile' series was created to celebrate Michigan's recreational treasures.
Materials: made in Michigan porcelain and Rick's specially formulated glaze. Using Rick's time tested recipes, we make small batches of glaze. Working small like we do, allows for variations in the glazes, creating one of a kind pieces. All of our tiles are handmade in our Michigan studio. buy 6x6" is a nominal size. The actual measurements are 5.75 x 5.75" with raised relief of .5" or less.
There is a notch on back for hanging, yet if you wish to install, it's also suitable for that too. If used outdoors in freezing temperatures, just make sure to keep it vertical. Purchase our 6x6" tile stand separately.
Here's a quick ‘How's it made?' breakdown: We sculpt the original design, make a plaster mold, press in clay, wait for drying, fire in kiln, glaze, fire again to about 2230 degrees and then cool.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this tile is split donated between the Circle of Blue and the Grass River Natural Area. Feel good about your purchase, you are helping to preserve our Great Lakes!
Art tiles are made to order and ship in under two weeks.
