I visited the shop for the first time today, and was thrilled by what I saw. This tasteful, well organized gallery holds a large selection of American- made crafts. Over 500 artist are represented, and I am honored to be among them. The owner, Joan, is an artist herself who creates unique and beautiful fabric collages. She frames them herself in house. If you are in the Green- Uniontown area, stop in a check out Gallery 143.<br />

The "<a href="http://www.thelogcabingallery.com/page.aspx?ID=90">Log Cabin</a>" is a charming, cozy, one-room gallery in an 1850s log cabin that overlooks the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It sits just a few feet from the edge of the park, so you can visit both on the same day. A selection of <a href="http://emutile.com/">Emu Tiles</a> will be on display (and available to purchase :) along with the work of many talented local artists.

This is a college town, so we posted quite a few on campus. We also put a some up at beloved independent businesses, like the <a href="http://tileclub.blogspot.com/2009/02/downtown-kent-tile-updatesle.html">Co-op</a> and Last Exit Books. Thanks to everyone who let us post flyers.<br />

I love how this turned out. I and hope to make them available again on my website at some point. Maybe this will be the year we get a bigger kiln... In the meantime, if you need just small number of field tiles to complete your art tile installation, just ask. I can usually accommodate small orders.</span><br />

The creamy field tiles couldn't be more perfect with the feature tiles in buckwheat glaze.<br />

It is hard to see the art tiles in this picture, but there are an assortment of 2 inch and 4 inch tiles set among commercial field tiles.<br />

She choose a "wild kingdom" theme for the feature tiles, and had an assortment of animal and plant tiles interspersed among creamy subway tiles. The art tiles are glazed in "<a href="http://emutile.com/art-tile/handmade/designer/buckwheat-glaze-sample" target="_blank">Buckwheat</a>." These are the first installation pictures I have seen in this popular glaze. Jennifer sent me a large number of pictures (thank you, Jennifer!) and I will be posting on my <a href="http://emutile.com/art-tile/handmade/designer/art-tile-installed-kitchens" target="_blank">installation page</a> soon. Until then, here is a sneak preview:<br />

The feature tiles add a festive touch to this pretty kitchen.<br />

She and my Uncle Ray ordered a number of 6"x6" tiles in <a href="http://emutile.com/art-tile/handmade/designer/autumn-glaze-sample" target="_blank">Autumn glaze</a>. They have already inlaid one of them into the bamboo back splash of their new, modern bathroom. The Autumn Glaze on this <a href="http://emutile.com/art-tile/handmade/designer/tulip-6x6-handmade-ceramic-art-tile" target="_blank">Tulip tile</a> goes perfectly with the hammered copper sink. The bathroom renovation is still in progress, and I hope to post pictures of the rest of the tiles once installation is complete. Thanks so much Aunt Rachel and Uncle Ray!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a aref="http://emutile.com"> Emu Art Tile </a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242480307404909815.post-52278602514530135562010-12-12T14:50:00.002-05:002011-11-27T13:03:57.833-05:00Two Hearths and a KitchenI will be posting more pictures of these lovely customer installations, along with explanations and credits on the <a href="http://emutile.com/galleries" target="_blank">art tile installation page</a> of my website soon.<br />

They selected the <a href="http://emutile.com/art-tile/handmade/designer/birds-branch-triptych-three-6x6-handmade-ceramic-art-tiles" target="_blank">Birds on Branch 3 art tile set</a> and an assortment of <a href="http://emutile.com/art-tiles/handmade/catalog/2-inch-2-inch-tile" target="_blank">2"x2"s </a> all in Autumn glaze. The field tiles are made by <a href="http://www.senecatiles.com/">Seneca Tile Co.</a>, in Attica ,Ohio. I love how the installer set them on the diagonal!<br />

All of the animals on the tiles can be found on the property. The new kitchen has a great view of their large, beautiful yard, so it makes sense for the tiles tie into that. I saw the kitchen before the tiles went in, and it really transformed the house. It is one of the best remodeling jobs I have ever seen. I can't wait to see it once the range hood and other final touches go in! I am going to try to bring a professional photographer (aka my friend <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/amandalouise?page=1" target="_blank">Mandi</a>) and get some pictures of the whole kitchen to showcase on my website.<br />

There is new work by new artists, who you can meet at the reception on Saturday July 10th from 5-7pm.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a aref="http://emutile.com"> Emu Art Tile </a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242480307404909815.post-60490865641301665742010-06-15T10:26:00.002-04:002011-11-27T13:15:13.531-05:00HUgE in JapanI have been corresponding with a very nice person in Tokyo named Yu, who purchased some of my tiles to sell in a shop there. I was surprised and thrilled when Yu sent me the latest copy of <a href="http://www.hugemagazine.jp/">"HUgE Magazine</a>, " a Japanese fashion magazine which features <a href="http://emutile.com/" target="_blank">Emu Art Tile</a>!<br />

Apparently, someone from HUgE saw my tiles in the shop, thought they were neat, and did a little write up with pictures for the the magazine.<br />

It is nice for me that the header is in English. I am not sure what the rest of the text says since , sadly, I can't read Japanese. But how cool to find out that my tiles cost 4,200 Yen and are 100x100mm in size!<br />

It is a very pleasant place to spend a sunny day. DRU and I spent several hours exploring it over the weekend. It is an extremely artistic town, with several galleries and a lot of public art. Much of the public art was made with ceramic art tile. Just look at the sign that greeted us on the way into town:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0cyphjdHhuimFpspIJsHbk0m9eiK-_tH3oaacybtG6Cfkhgfpu56AoEb-KsAFHQywhf2lYxF1dTRI17vRBmuxnAP5hQZIkaOonHXsUKvuUEw133yWevXEtBzyMbEErfWcVrhKzb3yZw/s1600/yellow_springs1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0cyphjdHhuimFpspIJsHbk0m9eiK-_tH3oaacybtG6Cfkhgfpu56AoEb-KsAFHQywhf2lYxF1dTRI17vRBmuxnAP5hQZIkaOonHXsUKvuUEw133yWevXEtBzyMbEErfWcVrhKzb3yZw/s400/yellow_springs1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582982267903688082" border="0" /></a>I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but this is big- at least as tall as a person. It is covered with tiles depicting yellow fruits, vegetables, birds and butterflies (get it? <span style="font-style: italic;">Yellow </span>Springs) I took this picture through the car window, so I didn't see the artist's name.<br /><br />Once we were in town, handmade tile benches seemed to be everywhere.

I can not remember for sure, but I think it is the same artist who made first bench. There was a ceramic studio and school downtown with a tile mural on the front, but I didn't get a picture. For a village of less than 4000, people I couldn't believe how much art there was. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that Antioch College is located in the village. Sadly, the college stopped operating recently due to low enrollment, but the town seems to be thriving in spite of it.<br /><br />We walked around the mostly deserted grounds of Antioch College. It is a large and beautiful campus, filled with pre- Civil War era buildings and lots of trees. But it was sad and spooky being there with so few people around. We looked into the windows of the art school and saw work that was left behind to collect dust.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7eW1n2QjZw0qz0WAUdQ9BbmwW_oL1t0zQoS_P72zzusXgUb6dRVOZoBciR_2orTM7xm5YhUUiq-zKPP5vGW8KvtffRx33cRVwudX8VMc6raNMrA6EiPPEQC_lb5ZOWcuhNNg5eTS0Usxu/s1600/yellow_springs13.jpg"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghwCZfVoMzZcfW4BeaXk1syBxpcrNT2bnmJJSHTxW2dKMDxtO2JooR-2k91uptBSyhwnHu3zBfxT4Nsmr0SMGpCj6JE-fvGJj8eQvTwpiXxgkULdoCDHxNT2p2j_L9zL9Xb7XzX2pBeD0/s1600/yellow_springs11.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghwCZfVoMzZcfW4BeaXk1syBxpcrNT2bnmJJSHTxW2dKMDxtO2JooR-2k91uptBSyhwnHu3zBfxT4Nsmr0SMGpCj6JE-fvGJj8eQvTwpiXxgkULdoCDHxNT2p2j_L9zL9Xb7XzX2pBeD0/s400/yellow_springs11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582984408306488658" border="0" /></a>These pictures were taken through hazy glass, which makes the scene look somewhat ghostly.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLyKbbARZO8mJ16ZjL-9oL1SAWpXFUE2A3Npy-Hv_Db1U5ErLPLu-lNOvQ-lWTsZBDxfsfP9OmM7V8F5DBGTTvHylV2MWZJeAjsR01EREPJP-xch0-6daTARWk9P2uuPw7HrgkrEKugM/s1600/yellow_springs12.jpg"><br /></a><br />Here is row of easels waiting for students to come and paint.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLyKbbARZO8mJ16ZjL-9oL1SAWpXFUE2A3Npy-Hv_Db1U5ErLPLu-lNOvQ-lWTsZBDxfsfP9OmM7V8F5DBGTTvHylV2MWZJeAjsR01EREPJP-xch0-6daTARWk9P2uuPw7HrgkrEKugM/s1600/yellow_springs12.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLyKbbARZO8mJ16ZjL-9oL1SAWpXFUE2A3Npy-Hv_Db1U5ErLPLu-lNOvQ-lWTsZBDxfsfP9OmM7V8F5DBGTTvHylV2MWZJeAjsR01EREPJP-xch0-6daTARWk9P2uuPw7HrgkrEKugM/s400/yellow_springs12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582984414155747394" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXh2K3_Zp0x872UvN2p-xxubux4lcCyRNtkeolZqd7N-xnBMwdqCOww6082sCWfPC3vAaylxHmZxChehTAycXFEU24ybHwUFiyvRznjLCigtP7OUkJbPeWU8lUAdxyQZSxuB_7z2pmSUY/s1600/yellow_springs9.jpg"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wdcDL4QhC1nt3_pNZX6h3A1vrjOr9cXm4pmBKyFLOWUP7pyMIp6whwkYBOn9qF1cjypWEjw7YN174BK9eLdZS3LUaKhH-XPa0guzbrgUObBWQRzmquK7UoTv5LL2TSi0OG02bYNolsGA/s1600/yellow_springs12.jpg"><br /></a>Without anyone around to look after them, the large outdoor kilns are falling into disrepair.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXh2K3_Zp0x872UvN2p-xxubux4lcCyRNtkeolZqd7N-xnBMwdqCOww6082sCWfPC3vAaylxHmZxChehTAycXFEU24ybHwUFiyvRznjLCigtP7OUkJbPeWU8lUAdxyQZSxuB_7z2pmSUY/s1600/yellow_springs9.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXh2K3_Zp0x872UvN2p-xxubux4lcCyRNtkeolZqd7N-xnBMwdqCOww6082sCWfPC3vAaylxHmZxChehTAycXFEU24ybHwUFiyvRznjLCigtP7OUkJbPeWU8lUAdxyQZSxuB_7z2pmSUY/s400/yellow_springs9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582984416993391202" border="0" /></a>It is eerie, like something out of "The Twilight Zone." Which is fitting in a sad way. "The Twilight Zone's" creator, Rod Serling, was an alumni of Antioch (class of 1950). I am a huge Serling fan, and wanted to see some evidence of his time there. The closest thing I could find was a bit of graffiti inside the shuttered art school:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj12ViFmk6adWc30NyhgCLj-zLuYzqsNyHS2MAVFiHSTXS7RNw9cJqZNzot6gOOVIFocl6RYWtOoDCW9jrc20j5cnTUkEvx9avjK3ZT6VIfnxGEdo2oXyOoG4oHZia14_znjEwdcceecqA/s1600/antioch+college-+crazier+than+the+twilight+zone.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj12ViFmk6adWc30NyhgCLj-zLuYzqsNyHS2MAVFiHSTXS7RNw9cJqZNzot6gOOVIFocl6RYWtOoDCW9jrc20j5cnTUkEvx9avjK3ZT6VIfnxGEdo2oXyOoG4oHZia14_znjEwdcceecqA/s400/antioch+college-+crazier+than+the+twilight+zone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582984421535362018" border="0" /></a>I attended a public university, which seemed expensive to me even with a scholarship that paid half my tuition. I never seriously considered attending a private, liberal arts college. But I feel that Antioch is a special place, and I am sure I would have enjoyed spending four years there. I hate to see it fall into disrepair. Apparently, a group of Antioch alumni feel the same way and have purchased the school. They are attempting to reopen it in 2011. I hope they are successful!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a aref="http://emutile.com"> Emu Art Tile </a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242480307404909815.post-14127756476055262462010-05-11T09:20:00.002-04:002011-11-27T13:15:57.530-05:00Our Tile VacationThis past weekend, DRU and I made the drive down to Cincinnati to see artTILE 2010 at <a href="http://www.indigenouscraft.com/">indigenous gallery</a>.

It was pretty chilly for mid May. Unfortunately, most of the pictures I took came out blurred or glared, and really don't do the installation justice. I will just have to go back down and take more. Below is the one close up that came out ok. It is a <a href="http://emutile.com/cypress.htm">4"x8" Cypress</a> tile in Leaf Green Glaze, set among reclaimed tiles from a swimming pool. They are black slate, almost an inch thick, so Uncle Bill had to add extra backer board behind my tiles to bring them out to the right level.<br />

Next we headed to <a href="http://www.essexstudios.com/">Essex Studios Artist Group</a> for open studio night, to see the talented <a href="http://www.essexstudios.com/studio260.htm">Lisa Molyneux's </a>new paintings. She and I talked about trading tiles for a painting, and I really hope it works out because I would love to have one of these:<br />

I didn't see tiles in any of the studios, but the giant sign out front was decorated with hundreds of handmade tiles.<br />
<br />

Speaking of signs, right next to Essex Studios is the <a href="http://www.signmuseum.net/">American Sign Museum.</a> It doesn't really have anything to do with tiles, but is worth mentioning. It is a neon dream.<br />

All in all, it was a fantastic inexpensive 36 hour vacation. In between Kent and Cincinnati, we stopped in the Village of Yellow Springs where we saw several handmade art tile installations. That may be the subject of another post.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a aref="http://emutile.com"> Emu Art Tile </a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242480307404909815.post-63769889711971117382010-04-28T08:37:00.001-04:002011-03-12T15:33:58.458-05:00Gallery NewsI am pleased to announce that Emu Tile is now available at <a href="http://www.gehristile.com/">Gehris Tile</a> in West Reading, Pennsylvania.

It was a delight to walk around the town and admire the many spring blossoms. We had lunch at the Black River Cafe, put up flyers for the upcoming show at the the <a href="http://thelogcabingallery.com/">Log Cabin Gallery</a> in Peninsula, and ran into a friend from Akron U. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Oberlin is one of our favorite day trips, and Ginko Gallery will always hold a special place in my heart as the very first gallery to accept my work.
