Custom Sculpting & Tile Design
Whether you are looking for a bulk order for a special project or a singular masterpiece for your home, our studio brings your vision to life in clay. We offer two distinct paths for custom work:
1. Custom Tile Editions (Bulk Orders)
Best for organizations, gifts, or commemorative series.
This path is designed for clients needing multiples of a single design (Minimum order: 50 tiles). The sculpting and mold fees are built into your custom quote.
Sizing Your Design:
6x6" Tiles: Recommended for high-detail imagery, such as 1800s architecture or intricate street scenes (see our Destination Series).
4x4" Tiles: Ideal for bold, simple designs like logos, silhouettes, or minimalist landscapes.
Custom Shapes: As sculptors, we aren't limited to squares! Contact us for unique shape requests.
Design Options:
Framing: Choose a decorative frame (based on any city in our Destination series) or a clean, plain border.
Lettering: Custom text, city names, or dates can be integrated into the sculpt.
Timeline: Lead time is approximately 3 months. Our schedule fills quickly, so we recommend reaching out early in the year.
2. Fine Art Commissions (One-of-a-Kind)
Best for private collectors and luxury home installations.
Looking for a singular, exclusive work of art? We offer private commissions for "One-of-a-Kind" tiles that will never be reproduced or sold in stores.
The Investment: $5,000 sculpting fee.
The Process: Each piece represents roughly 75 hours of dedicated master sculpting by Rick or Tonya.
Exclusivity: This design belongs solely to you; we retire the concept after your piece is fired.
Timeline: Approximately 12 weeks from design approval.
How the Process Works
Regardless of the project size, we follow a collaborative design journey:
Consultation: We offer free consultations via phone or email to discuss your research and ideas.
Composition: We determine the best size, shape, and layout for your subject matter.
Visual Reference: We work from your personal photos or our own research.
Sketch Approval: We send a sketch for your sign-off before we touch the clay.

working with amber on this project for their headquarters was done via email. her suggestions helped me find the right angle for the composition.
Trina designed the layout for our beautiful belle isle tile. Our collaboration took place through emails- a real time saver.
Karen explained her logo was a daisy For the Philanthropic educational organization. they help women pursue their educational goals by funding and mentoring them. instead of producing a stylized flower, we agreed the realistic approach framed the logo beautifully.
Marge from the Weimaraner association decided on our existing tile design. This allowed us to be free from sculpting and work on the thin design that fit Jim’s custom plates.
Alice personalized her store opening by having us create a commemorative tile of their historical lighthouse.
Rosa’s design personalized her commemorative tile. Her inclusion of architectural elements were a pleasure for us to sculpt.
Mimi had her logo ready to go. Her association’s tile order celebrated their 125th anniversary.
Sara requested a simple and restful composition to convey the lake house summer vibe. Wonderful to work with!
The second tile in Alice’s commemorative tile series, the tile was inspired by the brave women who signed their name to a petition to the English against taxation without representation. Differing from the boston tea party, the women plainly stood recognized.
