Natalie Blake Studios Tiles in New England Home Magazine

 

The studio’s Botanical tiles are pictured in the Elements section of New England Home’s October issue.

The section highlights “striking kitchen and bath materials from around New England.” As the write-up

explains, “Natalie Blake Studios uses the technique called sgraffito for its undulating tiles, carving free-hand to ensure the unique character and exquisite delicacy of each one.  As functional as they are beautiful, they would make a sensational backsplash, though many of the studio’s clients hang them on the wall as art.”

We are proud to be a New England-made source for fine wall art and backsplash tile.

New Installation of Ceramic Art Discs

 

These ceramic wall discs were commissioned by Art 3 Gallery, Manchester, NH for an outpatient surgery center north of Boston, MA.

We worked with the art consultant to choose tile sizes and colors, using her direction on design and layout.

New piece for healthcare installation

This piece was commissioned for a hospital lobby. The piece measures 36″ wide by 24″ high.  It is glazed in Robin’s Egg, Jade, and Honey, with a touch of Adobe on the center of the flower.

 

We think it would also make a beautiful backsplash!

Tree of Life installed in restaurant in Texas


A restaurant owner in Texas recently commissioned our Tree of Life wall tile mural for their new pizza restaurant. We worked with them on finding the right size mural and the colors that would work best against the wall color they chose. We think it looks great!
