Lea Nigel Studios is an evolving entity looking forward to establishing tile art as an integral component of thoughtfully designed spaces. I am focused on working toward forming solid client relationships. The studio offers skilled craftsmanship, which will transform your environment with ideas and influence unparalleled. I feel clay is an essential material that grounds humanity to the earth. When an object is crafted honestly, by hand, it will bring a vital warmth and an interconnected sensibility to your living spaces.
