New and returning tile artists at The Gift Shop

Wall tiles can be so decorative, and versatile. They are small enough to fit anywhere, yet still have an artistic impact. They are wall-art with the depth of 3D.
Today we will look at the tile work of Linda Buck, the team of Rick Pruckler and Tonya Lutz ,and  Lin Viglione.

Linda Buck joined us for the first time for Holiday Market 2018. Now she is in The Gift Shop. She creates her using black clay with impressed images. After firing the tiles are decorated. Pictured are three of Linda's beautiful tiles.

Rick Pruckler and Tonya Lutz have been very popular tile artists here for years. It is no wonder why...they're tiles are rich in detail, and beautifully glazed. Here are three of their lovely tiles.

Lin Viglione is one of our most multi-talented artists. She is a photographer, clay artist, sculptor, card maker, and collage artist. Pictured is her beautiful, and delicate"Queen Anne's Lace" plaster tile.

Come in and see these great tiles, and the work of all of our new and returning artists. Don't forget...Valentine's Day is only a few days away. Get your love something unique from The Gift Shop!
