Hermit Crab art tile was sculpted by Rick.

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. This tile measures 3.75 x 3.75”, nominal size-4x4", 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 4x4" 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.

The Hermit Crab Art Tile is a masterful, hand-sculpted tribute to one of the shore's most fascinating inhabitants. As the animal kingdom's most famous "homeowner," the hermit crab represents the search for the perfect, cozy sanctuary—making this 4x4" tile a poetic addition to any living space.

Artisan Craftsmanship for the Coastal Home:

  • Intricate Marine Relief: Originally hand-sculpted to capture the spiraling textures of the shell and the delicate anatomy of the crab, each tile is hand-pressed and finished with small-batch, artisan glazes. These finishes evoke the sun-drenched sands and tidal pools of the Great Lakes and beyond.

  • Museum-Quality Material: Fired to nearly 2230°F, our Michigan-made porcelain is waterproof and heat-resistant. It is a sophisticated specification for coastal kitchen backsplashes, bathroom shower niches, or outdoor poolside accents.

  • The Symbol of Sanctuary: Beyond its beauty, the hermit crab is a symbol of protection and home. This makes the tile a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone settling into a new "shell" or a sentimental piece for a family vacation cottage.
