CERAMIC TILE
IN THE MAKING
Hand-crafting ceramic tile is an art and a science, with an element of unpredictably that we have fully embraced as part of its honest aesthetic.
Our ceramic tiles are made-toorder for you by ceramicists in rural Newfoundland. Because they’re handcrafted, each piece is unique and slight variations will be present in the glaze and format. The beauty lies in finding the right balance of handmade imperfection.
