Field tile

Studio Tile

Field tile for walls that want a handmade voice.

As the true workhorse of our clay line, this collection grounds a space in honest craftsmanship. It is available in foundational 3x6, 2x8, and 6x6 formats, alongside an expansive selection of custom geometric shapes, tailored sizes, and intricate, traditional Arabesque patterns. Crafted from a robust red clay body, these tiles offer the rare versatility to move effortlessly from striking feature walls to high-traffic floors. Each piece is finished with a nuanced glaze that embraces variation, capturing, holding, and reading the light differently at every angle and every hour of the day.

Five Studio field sizes are held in stock with no minimum, 8x8, 6x6, 4x4, 3x3 and 2x8, sold unglazed. Stock moves, so the Studio page carries what is actually on the floor.

Field tile

Oleson Tile

Handcrafted character with a softer edge.

The Oleson collection bridges the gap between rugged durability and refined artistry. Molded with distinctive pillowed edges and rounded corners, these tiles feature a natural, undulating surface that feels alive. Built from a robust red body ceramic and finished with iconic ARTO glazes, the liquid color pools beautifully across the face of the tile and eases gently over its corners, celebrating the unpredictable beauty of a truly handmade product.

Relief, in ceramic

3D Impressions in Clay

The pattern is pressed into the clay body, not printed on the face.

Five patterns are cut for these ceramic wall panels. Compton, Compass Star, Buckle and Target at 6x6, and Bowtie at 2x12. Each one is formed in red clay and glazed, so the relief does two things at once. It throws a real shadow that moves across the wall through the day, and it gives the glaze somewhere to gather. Color pools in the low ground and pulls thin over the high ground. Available in the Premium High Fire and Signature Low Fire ranges, and figured on a 3/8 inch joint.

Painted by hand

Handpainted Collection

Artistry applied by hand, fired for a lifetime.

The Handpainted Collection turns ceramic tile into a canvas, showcasing a breathtaking range of styles from the nostalgic warmth of Traditional California Revival to striking, clean contemporary designs. This collection proudly features Palm Royale, an exclusive, vibrant collaboration with world-renowned mosaic designer Allison Eden. Utilizing traditional techniques like the cuerda seca (dry line) method, our artisans hand-apply intricate glaze details that elevate individual tiles into stunning custom murals. This is where centuries-old ceramic heritage meets bold, modern design.

Pattern series, screened

Peninsula Collection

Two glazes, and a whole menagerie set on them.

Peninsula holds its field back so the drawing can carry the room. Blue Satin and Pure White, and nothing else. The decos are the collection: fruit and tulips, a lobster, a seahorse, a lighthouse, a crab, a shell, a bear, a horse, a rooster, a deer, a butterfly. Two of them are murals rather than single tiles, sold as complete sets.

Field glazesBlue Satin and Pure White. Field at 6x6, 4x4, 3x3 and 3x6, decos at 6x6 and 4x4 by the piece. The Virgin mural is twelve 4x4 tiles, the Vase mural is six 6x6. Interior walls and floors, and wet conditions.

Blonde body

CLARA Tierra Madre

Honoring the material truth of our blonde bisque.

Named after "Mother Earth," the Tierra Madre texture is a design-forward nod to the sweeping natural beauty of California and the planet. We achieve this deeply tactile texture by glazing the back side of the tile, a process that purposefully exposes and highlights the raw, foundational beauty of our blonde bisque substrate. Rather than masking imperfections, this technique celebrates them, yielding an exceptional level of surface and color variation alongside beautifully irregular, hand-formed edges that ensure every single piece carries its own unique history.

The rangeFifteen CLARA glazes: Nougat, Mango, Cantaloupe, Pearl, Caviar, Sealion, Royal, Denim, Fossil, Apple, Bermuda, Mochi, Fog, Vanilla and Latte. Field at 6x6, 4x4, 2x8 and a 4 inch hexagon, plus the Amaryllis and Arabesque 8C sets. Quarter round, beak and inside quarter round trim. Quarter inch joints. Walls.

Brick, glazed

Glazed Brick Veneer

A wire cut brick face, 5/8 inch thick, under a wet glaze.

Cutting the brick with a wire leaves a dragged, open face, and that face is the reason this reads as brick and not as a rectangular tile. The glaze catches on every drag mark and settles into the pull of it. Fifty two Signature Low Fire glazes are made for it, from the near black to the near white, and the range runs through greens, blues and clay reds in between. It comes as a field piece, a wrapped corner and a grooved face, set on a 3/8 inch joint.

Brick and cobble

Catalina Brick and Cobble

One word stretching from the Pacific to the Sonoran.

Catalina is a California island. Catalina is a mountain range towering above Tucson. Now, it names an ARTO brick. Available as both a traditional paver and a smaller cobble format precision-cut down to size, this collection offers a striking wire-cut face, crisp square edges, and a clean, flat surface.

The collection expands into twelve distinct clay colors defined by natural, atmospheric depth: flashed browns and iron-spot greys, a Saltillo warmth that looks sun-dried, a burgundy that reads black until you look twice, and reds that move from coral to deep clay to vivid sunset. Each color is fired completely through the body, not painted on, ensuring rugged durability for both indoor and outdoor applications. The brick wears the way the brick was made, a single material designed to bridge two horizons.

The twelveBrown Flashed, Burgundy, Charcoal, Dark Ironspot, Light Ironspot, Medium Ironspot, Pueblo Flashed, Red Flashed, Rose Tan, Saltillo, Sterling Grey and Sunset Red. Paver and cobble. Indoor and outdoor.
