Michael worked as a functional potter for 48 years until, in 1997, he created a line of tiles that was so popular, he had to stop making pots in order to keep up with his tile orders! These unique handmade tiles are made by rolling out a 25 lb stoneware clay slab, pressing a string guide into the clay to map out the tiles, and hand-pressing original stamp designs into tiles. A brilliant blue glaze is then applied and highlighted with molten glass.

All 6x6" tiles have four protective rubber pads and a hanging hook on the back, making them equally useful as a trivet or wall-hanging.
