Transitioning…
This business of handmade tiles is hard on the hands, so after 20 plus years I’m ready for a bit of a break. I’m using this site to showcase some of my past tile work and also to introduce copper, silver and stone creations that are a new passion. I’ve been taking lapidary and metal smithing classes and really enjoy the process.
This updated website is more a portfolio than a shopping site. I’m cutting back on custom tile orders for now. You will find some handcrafted items on my Etsy shop RavenstoneHandcrafts, available for purchase. It features quite a few new pieces that incorporate metal and stone.

Custom Tile Projects
Over many years I have undertaken quite a few customized tile projects. Usually the client provides a picture or two and some description of their idea. I then do my best to capture their vision in ceramic tile.
