Mother Karen Gay send us this image giving us some idea of what her dream kitchen entails.

Furthermore her brief included a custom shaped tile resembling the original New York subway tile and special images like sugarcane and cardinal flowers.

They are in the process of installing the tiles, unfortunately they left the installation with inexperienced Mexican contractors that could not and did not read the installation diagrams and manuals.

We are in the process making 36 tiles to complete the installation. This is unfortunate, but with proper supervision and implementing the diagram and following instructions supplied in the manual a successful installation would have been possible for sure! We receive many compliments regarding our services to aid with a successful installation.

Mother Karen Gay responds:

“We love the tiles … they’re beautiful! I have attached pictures so that you can see how those that are installed look so far.”

She is as passionate as we are and now that she will have a happy and welcoming kitchen as soon as it is complete.

A full portfolio off the above commissioned handmade kitchen tiles will be available on our  new and soon to be announced website featuring special projects.

Mrs Elwes, a passionate collector of our art work, had this ceramic tile panel installed in a entrance with a skylight. The sun is far to intense to hang any conventional painting in this spot and a ceramic tile panel was one of the few options.

This wall being exposed to strong afternoon sun was neglected till now, but wow what a difference does this new art panel make!

This close up display some of the soft velvety textures of these proteas, enticing one to touch them and imaging the real flower under your fingertips!

Soon panels like these will be for sale on Southern Art Ceramics e-commerce site, which promise to be the most dynamic and diverse online gallery from one studio in the world!

After months of design, consultation, R&D, production and solving curve balls the project is on its way for installation. It will be a few more weeks before I shall receive images showing of these magical green tiles and the splendid Moroccan patterns with customized colours to suit each villa’s design brief.

I always get a feeling of calm and happiness when passing this house number in Hermanus with a surround of handmade ceramic tiles hand painted with a variety of realistic birds from penguins, cormorants, pelicans, guinea fowl, seagulls and the seriously endangered black toby.

This wall would have been an austere entrance and not welcoming at all was it not for this sensitive paintings by Hele Oosthuizen.

Most of our tiles can be used to create your own unique little panel welcoming quests. Our e-commerce site will launch in the next few months making this an easy DIY project!
