Reinventing Terra Cottage!!!!

Terra Cotta Relief Work--our first experiments...
Hand painted Majolica, and resist works to follow...

Please watch and share in our new endeavor!

We are rolling out slabs of Terra Cotta clay for hand painting with a wide variety of techniques and we will be creating relief tiles as well. Much of what we produce will be inspired works from the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Renaissance. In order to cover many interests our initial outcomes will be somewhat eclectic, but hopefully will include something for everyone.

We will offer private classes and studio time for anyone interested and all ages. All of our work will be for sale and we will have a new store front! We will also create custom tiles for functional and decorative use/display in your home.

Arnie and Laura's honeymoon work!
