5 out of 5 starsReally nice tile! Drawn to the owl’s round face & wide-eyed stare. And he looks like he’s swooping in for a hug!

5 out of 5 starsNot only the quality product(s) I had hoped for but a kind, accommodating, and trusting seller who made sure that I had two companion pieces that would match in color perfectly. Karen is a consummate professional and expert artisan.

5 out of 5 starsReally pretty little Robin tile! The picture on site does not do it justice. The tile has a nice matte finish - which I prefer, but it did not come across in the picture. Will make a nice addition to the wildlife portion of my tile collection. Well packaged as well!

About MUDpi
MUD Pi creates original decorative ceramic tiles and ceramic objects.
With a bachelor degree in architecture, an interest in clay and the purchase of our first fixer upper in need of a bathroom and a kitchen renovation, I developed a strong interest in tile design and tile production. In 1993 my husband and I began the handmade Tile Company, MUD Pi. The name, MUD Pi, is word play, MUD of the Earth, Pi of the mind. Our production tile studio (mudpi.com) creates made to order contemporary arts and crafts tiles from a series of original tile lines. They are designed for residential installations, including fireplace surrounds, kitchen back-splashes and bathrooms.
In 2008 we moved from Chicago to Columbus Ohio. MUD Pi became a solo endeavor. The MUD Pi etsy shop opened in 2010. This gave me an opportunity to experiment with new imagery, glazes and techniques. I have explored stand alone tile designs and worked on creating hand-built ceramic objects. In my MUD Pi Etsy shop you will find individual tiles, mounted gift tile trivets and murals as well as ceramic objects. Many of the designs explore nature/garden themes and their symbolism.
Each tile starts with a design and is created by first building a positive and than casting a mold. The clay is rolled into a slab and pressed into the mold. The tiles are hand trimmed and hand glazed with a paintbrush from many glazes that I mix in the studio. Layering a number of glazes creates the unique glaze colors and mottled surfaces. The tiles are fired to cone 6. The amount of handwork involved creates variations and each tile is unique.
