Custom Tile Designs
How to Get Started
Retailer Near You:
While we are a small handcrafted tile company, we are proud to offer our products through a carefully selected network of retailers across the United States. Please send us your location or zip code and we will happily direct you to a retailer in your area if available. Each of our authorized retailers offers a full selection of display boards, color palettes, and sample pieces, along with a knowledgeable staff to assist you with design, pricing, and ordering.
No Retailer Near You:
For areas where we do not have an established retailer, we would be happy to assist you directly with your project. We have a team of artists, as well as an in-house interior designer always available for ideas and suggestions to help you create the perfect design for your space. Our tiles are extremely durable, so they can be safely and easily shipped anywhere in the world. Contact us and get your project started today!

Our Streamlined Design Process:
With endless possibilities for customization, our expert design team will guide you along every step of the way to bring your vision to life. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
Step 1
Send us measurements of the space, photos of selections already made (i.e. countertops, cabinets, etc.) and any ideas or requests you have regarding layout or which of our “Friends” you would like to incorporate. Our Photo Gallery is a great resource to see some of the possibilities.
Step 2
Our artists will provide recommendations on size and layout, along with a quote for your project. Taking all those ideas & putting it to paper, we will then provide a detailed scaled concept drawing showing the suggested layout to help you envision the finished design.
Step 3
Next, we will glaze all of the “Friends” and mosaics for your custom design and confirm final field measurements. All of our designs are made to fit the exact space, often wrapping multiple walls or surfaces, and planned around electrical or plumbing obstructions, so that there will be no need for cutting or alterations on-site.
Step 4
Once the mesh backing is cut and the layout is complete, we will send a dry-lay photo for your review prior to gluing. Fine-tuning the layout at this stage will make sure you will love the final design.
Step 5
The final steps: glue, cut, ship! Our artist meticulously pick up every mosaic and glue it back down to the mesh backing. Once dried, it will be cut up into manageable sizes for easy shipping (usually via UPS Ground). Every order arrives lovingly wrapped with clear instructions and a diagram for easy installation. You and your installer will love us!
Color & Mosaic Options
Glazes
Discover a world of color with our extensive collection of lead-free, non-toxic artisan glazes, perfect for customizing your “Friends” or “Wet Dog Glazed Minis”. Most are suitable for both floor and wall applications, offering endless possibilities to create the perfect complement to your personal aesthetic.
Please read descriptions for an overview of characteristics and feel free to call or e-mail anytime for artist recommendations or to order a current sample swatch!
Mosaic Textures
The key to a dynamic mosaic is the ability to incorporate multiple different textural elements, which is exactly what you will find in our mosaic texture offerings. From the iridescent shimmer of crushed glass Ice Crystals to the smooth elegance of flat Skipping Stones, Pebbles, and circular glass Puddles, available in an array of sizes, shapes, and finishes. To complement these naturally inspired textures, we offer a unique selection of hand cut and pressed stoneware mosaics. From the intricate detail of Kelp and Grass to the geometric precision of Rounds, Drops, and Snow Flurries, all finished in your choice of over 80 artisan glazes, we can craft a unique and stunning composition to match any style.
Order Samples
We offer an assortment of ready to ship sample options, delivered right to your door, to aid in the selection process. While we do our best to provide accurate photographs and descriptions of our color palette options, nothing compares to touching and feeling a sample and seeing it in your space and your lighting.
– Sample “Bones” (approx. 2.5” in size) are available in any of our Warm, Cool, or Neutral Glazes for $5 each
– Color swatches are available in the following Mosaic Textures: Skipping Stones, Pebbles, Currents, Puddles, and Ice Crystals for $5 each
– For our linear border design, we offer a 12” mesh mounted sample section at a 30% discount (please contact us below for more details)
Please note, while sample borders are not returnable, sample swatches may be returned for credit toward your final order. This keeps them out of the dumpster at the end of the project, and you only wind up paying the small shipping charge.
