Description
Elk Lake art tile was sculpted by Rick. This tile is glazed with your choice of color. It is wiped off the highlighted areas to create a two color effect of the raw clay exposed in high areas & your glaze choice in the low areas. All glaze colors look good with this technique because of the higher contrast. Materials: made in Michigan porcelain & 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. 3x6" is a nominal size. The actual measurement is 3.25 x 6.25" 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. 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 & 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!
