The mud hut company
Tree of Life handmade wall and floor tiles
My friend Jane Sheppard hand-makes wonderfully earthy and unique clay tiles, and they are now available to order online as well as locally in the Bath area.
Everything at mud hut company is designed and made by Jane, who has worked as a lecturer in art and design and practitioner in ceramics for 20 years and received awards from the British Council and South West Arts.
Jane describes her work:
Clay is a receptive material. Because the clay hasn’t had all the life knocked out of it at earthenware temperature, it retains a vibrancy and capacity for renewal that enhances its environment.
Mud hut company products are made individually using age-old inlay and embossing techniques. They are rolled, cut and finished entirely by hand in the west country. Each has its own uniquely distressed surface, creating a luxurious mellowed appearance in a collective panel. Soft variations in colour and texture arise from small-scale firing and this gives added depth and interest that makes mud hut company tiles authentic and special.
Mud hut company tiles and decorations can be seen at the Icon Gallery in Bath at the moment.
