Emma West Handmade Tiles

Introduction

Emma West Ceramics was established in 2000, it is a small, rural, studio business concerned primarily with the production and development of a range of unique and beautiful handmade ceramic tiles.

The tiles produced at the Cornwall based workshop of Emma West Ceramics are made using white stoneware clay and porcelain sourced from clay pits on the North Cornish coast at St. Agnes.

The tiles are individually impressed with seasonally available leaves and flowers direct from the surrounding gardens making every single one unique. The technique is simple but the skill in the glazing of the tiles has been refined over years. The palette is not broad, subtle greens and blues with bright turquoise adding occasional highlights. It is the plants themselves that contribute the endless variety to these little works of art. From the Snowdrops and Primroses of the Spring to the Fuchsias and Honeysuckles of late Autumn there is always an ever changing array of plants, and tiles, available.

The tiles are available as framed wall hangings and commissions are undertaken for their use in larger interior tiling projects, please see the relevant pages for more information on these and don't hesitate to use the contact section.
