Whistling Frog Tile

Whistling Frog Tile Company is a collaboration of two artists: Rick Pruckler & Tonya Lutz. Our hands are on the work from start to finish. Whistling Frog was founded in 1987 by Rick Pruckler. Creative by nature, he was involved in tile projects and installation pieces, like the People Mover murals in Detroit with Pewabic and the Michigan Welcome Center mural at the Ambassador Bridge with Hubert Massey, as well as years of instructing students in the art of ceramics. Additionally, he had the experience of hand-crafting the look and feel of the contemporary vase designs and glaze formulas used today by Pewabic Pottery in Detroit.
