The depth and variation of a watercolor painting: That’s the remarkable character of Gordon Bryan’s handmade field tiles, which can overlay as many as three different colors.

Bryan and his wife, Pamela Bridges, run Blue Slide Art Tile out of their artisan studio in Point Reyes Station, California.

Their ceramic tiles have a distinct “brushiness” that shows the random pattern of brushstrokes used to apply the glazes; the two also produce handpressed relief tiles with an Arts and Crafts bent, as well as whimsical hand-carved tiles depicting farm animals like cows and sheep.
