Sleeping Bear Dunes 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 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 5.75 x 5.75”, nominal size of 6x6”, 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. It’s feel good time!

Art tiles are made to order and ship in under two weeks.

The Sleeping Bear Dunes Art Tile is a soulful, hand-sculpted tribute to one of America’s most beautiful landscapes. Originally hand-sculpted to capture the sweeping curves and rugged beauty of the National Lakeshore, this 6x6" tile serves as a permanent window into your favorite Michigan vacation.

A Premium Keepsake for the Michigan Enthusiast:

• Artisan Landscape Detail: Each tile is hand-pressed from an original sculpture and finished with small-batch glazes in our Michigan studio. These glazes mirror the shifting blues of the lake and the sandy golds of the dunes, ensuring your piece is a one-of-a-kind original.

• Museum-Quality Material: Crafted from durable Michigan porcelain and fired to nearly 2230°F, this tile is waterproof, fade-resistant, and built to last. Unlike a standard souvenir, this is a heritage piece designed for a lifetime of display.

• Versatile Display & Installation: With a built-in notch on the back, it’s ready to hang as instant wall art in a summer cottage or sunroom. It is also fully functional for permanent installation in a kitchen backsplash, shower niche, or fireplace surround.
