Mackinac Island Carriage 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 retailer do, allows for variations in the glazes, creating one of a kind pieces. All of our tiles are handmade in our Michigan studio. 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.
We donate a percentage of each tile sold to one of the organizations listed on the 'Community' page of our website. Check it out on whistlingfrog.net. It's feel good time!
Art tiles are made to order and ship in under two weeks.
