Sketches for You--Did You Know??

Did you know that we do line renderings of tile layouts regularly?  There is a archive of these drawings on the Design Ideas page, under Layout Sketches.  The sketches can give you new ideas, or help your clients visualize tiles together.  We can also do renderings of new designs as part of a new project proposal!

NEW Concordia!!

We've added a new spin on Concordia, Clay Decor's most popular tile!  This new design is a custom-commission, (originally made to a specific client's request) and now part of the collection for everyone!  Also, introducing a new Concordia Sero in 17x4 inches sizing!  See below for the total mural...

Here is Leaf Concordia pictured with Concordia Sero tall and narrow, with Kallisto molding frame.  The tiles pictured here are loose/uninstalled in the studio, and are in Buttercream glaze.  Total size, approximately 35x24 inches.

Special thanks to Stone and Tile Emporium for this new project!

NEW Fractured Glazes!

Happy 2013!  Clay Decor just developed a new line of crackled glazes.  This glamorous new selection of 9 glazes adds a pop of color and sparkle to any interior.  Combine small tiles to make a large medallion, or create jewels with smaller decos around the wall--the possibilities are endless!

Fractured Glaze is a specialty glaze with a different personality than our regular finish color offerings.  Additional charges apply per square foot (on pricelist 'Policies' page).

Here are some guidelines and options:

• Use on wall tiles only
•  Can be applied to tiles 6x6 or smaller
• Used only with tiles with raised borders on the edge
• Small tiles can be pressed into a larger piece of clay to create this border needed around the edge
• Choice of Bone or Gloss White glazes for background/edge/border
• Custom Fractured colors available, inquire about samples and availability

Glaze-to-Go!

At Clay Decor it's all about custom handmade artwork, made to order just for you.  We created a shortcut that trims couture from 6 weeks to GUARANTEED TO SHIP IN 2 WEEKS! Clay Decor has created the most popular designs and bisque fired them.  From here, the tiles can be easily custom-cut in the studio on the wet saw and glazed in any of our hand-created glazes:  http://www.clay-decor.com/finish-colors.php

How to Become a New Dealer

How to Become a Clay Decor Dealer

Thank you so much for your interest in Clay Decor's 100% handmade artisan products!  Our tiles and sinks are individually hand-made and hand-glazed.  Each piece is UNIQUE--it will never come out of the kiln the same way twice, and this guarantees true artistic quality.

 Who are Our Partners?

Our partner stores are typically small, boutique style stores with designers or highly experienced sales people willing to work with the clients on custom projects.   These stores are in high-end markets with consumers that have traditional sensibilities.

These are ARTISAN products made by an artist.  If you are looking for off-the-shelf, pre-made items that offer consistency and uniformity, Clay Decor's products are not a good fit.  Each tile is an individual work of art with a unique appearance, that is made to-order only (applies to all works, even large quantities of plain field tiles).  Tiles come together create beautiful, unique total compositions.

What is the Lead Time?

Because every tile is custom-made for each client, there are no items 'in stock'.  Most orders have a 6-week window from the time the Purchase Order is received until the ship date.  We are happy to try and work with you, so if occasionally there is an urgent need, check with us and we'll consult the current production schedule and let you know at the time of inquiry.

What is the Buy-in?

We require a minimum initial display purchase of $300.  Display pricing is 1/2 of wholesale prices.  All stock finish colors, with the exception of hand-rubbed colors using 'Antiquity' in the name, are the same price.  Antiquity colors add $50 to medallion orders and more if applying to a number of fields.

Do We Offer Exclusivity?

The short answer is 'no'.  In general, we try to maintain a 20 minute driving distance between partner stores.  Of course, that will be less distance in a highly dense market such as a major city.  Clay Decor offers no guarantees of territory/exclusivity.

How Do You Choose a Display?

Displays are as custom as the individual client orders.  You can order whatever designs you want, in any of the stock colors.  You can order a combination of loose tiles and/or concept boards.  All concept boards will be shipped to you in loose tiles with a map for installation on site with backing materials of your choice.  As an alternative, we have several packages you can choose from, made up of the most popular designs/colors.
