At Whistling Frog, Rick and Tonya are the artists and makers. Their tiles are created in house by hand, one at a time.

They sculpt original designs and pour plaster molds that are filled with white stoneware and fired in kilns. The ceramic tiles are finished using Rick’s specially formulated glazes in their happily humming studio.

Their focus is the beauty of nature, community and preservation. Their new tiles represent Harbor Country, New Buffalo and Union Pier.
