Vintage garden images add a touch of whimsy to your design

Tempest Tileworks specializes in interpreting etchings from the 17th, 18th, an 19th century as hand made ceramic tile murals. Images are gathered and culled from European print folios and are transferred onto ceramic tile using a silkscreen process. Color is added later by hand.
