Scott Weaver- Horton, MI Pewabic Pottery student
After learning the craft of masonry from hs father, Scott was a self-employed as a stonemason for 26 years. After spending four winters at Pewabic studying the craft of tilemaking, Scott decided to change his life's work, often joking that he switched to tilemaking becuase the work was lighter. In 2002, he partially disassembled and moved a post and beam 1870's barn to create a studio for his custom tile work and today has created over 80 individual designs using gardening, nature and wildflowers as his primary inspiration.
"My handmade tiles are produced from grey or white stoneware and fired to cone 9 or 6. All glazes are formulated by hand. The designs I use reflect my lve of nature and the outdoors."
All tiles are hand-pressed, glazes are hand-mixed and tile are hand-dipped. Due to this process, some variation in size and color may occur.
