Welcome 12 NEW artists to artTILE 2014!
artTILE not only gives us the opportunity to see what your favorite tile artists have been up to, but to share new tile artists we've discovered that we think you'll like as much as we do. So here's a few we'd like to introduce to you ~ stay tuned for more!

 Wendy Anderson big fork, mt Welcome Wendy Anderson! What everyone loves about her tiles is that each one has a story to tell. Wendy has always been drawn to storytelling & fairy tales, so after finding a stash of vintage molds, she began incorporating these new found treasures into her tiles~ "clay collages". With bears, pears, & puppy-dog tails (tales?) you'll enjoy discovering your own narrative! Hurry - they are each one-of-a-kind! |
Mary Dixon
ann arbor, mi
Mary is the easy winner for the artist who created the teeniest, tiniest artTILEs ever! Most are only one inch square with surprising detail and lovely glazes, starting at just two bucks! Her tiles are great for mosaic projects, miniatures, doll houses, or just those teeny spots that need a little tile accent.
|
Nita Claise
tell city, in
Nita creates large single, portrait-style tiles in both coppery-raku and black & white crackle raku glazes. Each piece captures the nature & character of the creature artfully - rabbits, birds, sheep, chickens, owls, goats, & horses. Her blackbirds are especially enchanting!

Anne Porter-Elliott
stamping ground, ky
Anne Porter-Elliott's pottery exists, perhaps as pottery always has, precisely on the line between function and art. With each piece of pottery she tries to create something that is finely crafted yet functional, something aesthetically pleasing yet natural. Each functional piece should be formed to hold up to everyday use, but that doesn't mean that it can't be graceful and artistic. Her layering of glazes enhances the natural elements & elegant form of each piece- she works tirelessly to get just the right coloring; glazing & re-glazing until the piece takes on its unique personality~ this is when she knows it is ready to find a new home.
