Michigan Water Wonderland collectable art tile was sculpted by Rick. The 'Destination Tile' series was created to celebrate Michigan's recreational treasures. The vintage Michigan slogan is carved in relief lettering around the perimeter of this Michigan tile celebrating the Great Lakes and wild waterfowl of this amazing state! This tile is glazed with your choice of color which is wiped off the highlighted areas to create a two color effect of the raw clay exposed in high areas and your glaze choice in the low areas. Darker glaze colors will show better with this technique because of the higher contrast.

Materials: made in Michigan porcelain and 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. This tile has a ~3.75” diameter, nominal size of 4” diameter 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 and then cool.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this tile is donated to the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation. Their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund provides support and opportunities for all communities, opening doors for everyone!
