Commission in progress

We’re working on a commission for a couple who wanted a tile piece with a carving of a pond. Here’s the piece, prior to bisque firing. Notice the frog (far right tile) and the fish (bottom left tile) in the piece.

Armonk Outdoor Art Show

Natalie exhibited at the Armonk Outdoor Art Show this past weekend.  This fine art and fine crafts juried show is sponsored by the Friends of the North Castle Public Library, Inc. Proceeds benefit the North Castle Public Library and its Whippoorwill Hall theater. The Art Show is run by community volunteers. Armonk, part of the Town of North Castle, is located in Westchester County, New York.


Here is Natalie’s dad in the booth:


New Dahlia mural

Ann Sacks Tile Co recently commissioned this piece, glazed in turquoise, for their new London showroom. The 12″ x 12″ tiles will be grouted in place so their edges were made without undulation to make grouting easier.  We love the antique look of the glaze.  This would make a fantastic backsplash.

The Dahlia design is one of three designs which are exclusive to Ann Sacks.

This one really pops!

Dahlia design featured in Home & Garden magazine

Our ceramic wall tiles were featured in the March 2010 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine.

This is our Dahlia design, one of three designs sold exclusively through Ann Sacks Tile Co.

While the article says that the tiles are for indoor use they can be installed outdoors as well.

As reported in the article, our tiles are one-of-a-kind!

Each tile is handmade and sgraffito-carved.

Ann Sacks, San Francisco

Just completed this 15-tile Dahlia mural for a client of Ann Sacks Tile Co.  Three of our designs (Dahlia, Botanical and Nautilus are available exclusively through the Ann Sacks Tile Co).

The client liked the full Dahlia mural but only needed 15 tiles. So she selected the section of the larger mural that she wanted. Here’s the result.  The tiles will be surrounded by smooth field tiles and grouted in place.
