TINY TILES JEWELRY

An artist friend encouraged me to use my ceramic tile making techniques to explore the world of jewelry. These "tiny TILES" earrings and pendants are the result: handprinted with linoleum blocks and black underglaze with my unique geometric designs.

I am creating new "tiny TILES" for the Art in the Woods, the North Kitsap Studio Tour, in early November, Front Street Gallery, and PaulaGillArt Etsy shop.

This site is a collection of relief prints and ceramic linoleum block printed "tiny Tiles" made by Paula Gill of Bremerton, Washington.

I've long been fascinated and charmed by the aesthetic printmaking. My first print was a 4 color linoleum block print I created when I was 18. Since then I have explored various methods of printmaking, from stone lithography and copper plate etching, to wood and linoleum block printmaking. Relief printing is my current favorite method of printmaking, examples of which you'll see on this page.

My tile work evolved out of my love of clay and printmaking and I've used techniques learned from both disciplines to create a unique body of artisan tiles. Each tile is hand formed, carved by hand; each is a one of a kind original, no molds are used. The tiles on this site celebrate trips to the coast, mountain rivers, and my love of botanicals- all of which are framed in black wood frames, ready to hang.

However, after 25 years of tilemaking, I am turning my focus solely onto printmaking. So, there will be no more tiles after my current inventory is gone. Email me for a studio visit to view the few remaining tiles in stock.

On my PaulaGillArt Etsy shop you'll find a selection of the black and white "tiny Tiles" jewelry.

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy browsing the site! Paula Gill
