Handmade Custom Tiles

Way Back Tiles creates handmade art tiles with an Arts and Crafts sensibility. The high relief hand carved tiles and low relief companion tiles are based on natural plant forms from the garden and the woods around the Way Back Tiles' studio in the mountains of North Carolina.

Homeowners may select from Way Back Tiles original designs or the artist, Jane Butckovitz, can create made to order tiles that reflect the client's vision and interests. All tiles are crafted by hand in the Way Back Tiles studio. Way Back Tiles is happy to make individual or groups of tiles suitable for framing or entire custom designed layouts with art tiles, border tiles and matching field tiles. The tiles can be used for murals, kitchens, baths and fireplace surrounds.

There is a large selection of both gloss and matte glazes, including full color blends of hand painted underglaze. All tiles are made from either terra cotta or white clay according to the glaze color selected. A complete range of tile sizes is available.

Inquiries from architects, designers and remodlers are welcome.
