I started Bridge Street Design with the idea of making good design just a little bit three-dimensional—stamping a logo or a bit of text into clay and seeing what happens. Maybe making the tiles will create an interesting new texture, a new visual pattern. Something to please our tactile selves.
My interest in creating stamps and surface texture began when I discovered letterpress, and the tiles are really an extension of that. I create the designs in photoshop or illustrator and then have a thick letterpress plate made. This is what I stamp into the clay. I try to find glazes that look weathered and old, that will show off the dimensional pattern of the tile. All the tiles are high-fired stoneware—perfect for a backsplash, an outdoor shower, a retail space; indoors or outdoors. Stop by during E.A.S.T. and receive your very own ceramic business card.
