Pasadena Craftsman Tile follows in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement. In all of our original commissions, walls, fireplaces, fountains and floors, we adhere to the ethos of the movement, we elevate craftsmanship and the natural world, over mass production and uniformity. Each tile requires artistic judgment and careful workmanship.
Our tiles are glazed by hand in a manner that accentuates the relief and lets the clay body show through. For our custom carved tile, we begin by creating a full scale drawing of the frieze to be carved, then transfer the art to moist clay. We often spend several days carving the bas-relief as the texture of the clay changes allowing for increasing levels of detail.
In addition to our custom carvings and field tile, we offer a beautiful collection of Batchelder Revival and original designs. All Batchelder deco tiles are hand-made and slip cast from molds taken from original Batchelder relief tiles.
Arts & Crafts Homes and the Revival covers both the original movement and the ongoing revival, providing insight for restoration, kitchen renovation, updates, and new construction. Find sources for kitchen and bath, carpet, fine furniture and pottery, millwork, roofing, doors and windows, flooring, hardware and lighting. The Annual Resource Guide, with enhanced editorial chapters and beautiful photography, helps Arts & Crafts aficionados find the artisans and products to help them build, renovate, and decorate their bungalow, Craftsman, Prairie, Tudor Revival, or Arts & Crafts Revival home.
