Craftsman Tiles is the art tile studio that specialized in Arts & Crafts inspired designs. The artist, Janet Starr, handcrafted tile in Santa Cruz, CA from 1987 to 2024 when she retired. Originally a painter, she used her exprerience to create original designs to captures the feel of the Craftsman era. These framed tiles compliment any Arts & Crafts, Mission or Bunglalow style home. Each original design is hand-carved into plaster. Using a technique called ‘Cuenca’, clay is hand-pressed into the plaster mold, creating a raised outline.
