Art Tile
My Art Tile collection is evolving, please inquire about your favorite icon or image. Id love to work with you to create a design, and then for your idea becomes part of my story. Please check back frequently for exciting, new additions!
These honestly handcrafted Art Tiles make the perfect gift for someone special. They are made to pair with my Address Numbers… to add personal touch to the facade of your home or business, or really personalize a gift for friends and family.
Each tile is created from a hand carved ceramic prototype, hand cast in a plaster mold, then hand pressed (from a Michigan made white stoneware clay), and hand painted in several glaze hues. I bisque fire the tile and then hand-paint each glaze color onto the tile. A final glaze firing, to about 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, creates a beautiful, professionally crafted, piece of art made just for you! From my home to yours!
Lead times vary, depending upon order size and how busy we are. Average is 2-10 weeks.
You have to contact me to place an order, please. I’ll create and email you a personal invoice to suite your needs. (231)735-6173 or andrealea@leanigel.com

Visit product page →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.
