RAVENSTONE TILES
RAVENSTONE TILES
Welcome to the Ravenstone Tiles home page. It all started when tile artist Laura Reutter began making and designing ceramic tiles in 1998. Taking inspiration from early art pottery companies such as Moravian, Newcomb, Rookwood, and Grueby, her designs depict nature, with elements of Art Nouveau as well as Arts & Crafts aesthetic.
Glaze specialist Tim Taylor blends glazes by hand, including some unique to Ravenstone Tiles. Most of the glazes have a matte to satin surface quality, with subdued colors that enhance the relief carving. Each tile is hand-pressed in a plaster mold; glazes are likewise hand-applied, making every tile a unique work of art.
Ravenstone Tiles does not keep an inventory of tiles on hand; we take your order, make each tile, and glaze them in colors of your choosing.
Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for tile orders; somewhat longer for large and / or special orders. Please email or call to place your order; and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
We welcome visitors to our studio, but please phone ahead so we know to expect you.
Sample tiles are shown below, as well as current prices and a range of glaze colors -- just click an image.
