Lea Nigel Studios 5x5 Swan Art Tile is inspired by the majestic birds that inhabit the local lakes with their grace and glorious beauty. Makes the perfect wedding gift for that special couple.
Locally, the Mute Swan has made the news, been the subject of protest. There are two species, the Trumpeter Swan and the Mute Swan… here in Michigan. The Mute Swan is an invasive species and the D.N.R recently set out on a mission to control he invasive species on the Boardman River. The river area in Traverse City, Michigan was re-routed after the removal of a long standing dam. There was a nesting swan pair here, you could see when you drove past, over the bridge. A lot of people were upset when the re-routing project began and were concerned about this nesting pair.
A made-to-order tile will take 2-4 weeks depending on the kiln schedule and how busy the studio is.
I hand press and hand glaze each individual tile in our studio in Northern Michigan just for you. Genuine handcrafted tile designed and produced by trained artisans. The images show our Swan with a True Celadon (lighter, translucent green) and a Jade (darker, opaque, speckled green) glaze background, you can choose or request a different color to match your design. Please message us with any ideas.

Visit product page →An architect in Maine reached out to me a couple moons ago, with an idea for a custom tile. Her client desired a large format thistle design for her fireplace. I recollect her mentioning the thistle was meant to showcase their ancestry in the design.
The tile’s finished dimensions are near 8 3/4 x 10 1/2 x 5/16 inches.
My tile art is typically 1/2 inch thick (or more), but this tile is only 5/16 inches thick. It fits more of the thickness of a commercially made tile. This tile will not fit with my other handmade tile in thickness.
Look at Blue Rutile glaze, always a show stopper! Rainforest is the amazing blue-green hue on the stem, and large leaves. True Celadon shows its translucent pale green glow on the small leaves. Aqua glaze hue ebbs and flows on the flower bulb. I layered Cherry Blossom and Lavender on the flower petals… for a true thistle vibe.
I offer over 70 glaze hues in my Glaze Palette, please visit the page on my site to see all of the possibilities. Let me know if you’d like samples, get in touch with any questions please.
I’d love to help you bring your custom home (or commercial) ideas to worldly existence. Message me, let’s make something pretty…
