Pasadena Craftsman Tile

Pasadena Craftsman Tile follows in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement. In all of our original commissions, walls, fireplaces, fountains and floors, we adhere to the ethos of the movement, we elevate craftsmanship and the natural world, over mass production and uniformity. Each tile requires artistic judgment and careful workmanship. Our custom carved tiles are fired 2 to 3 times over 2150 degrees F. The glaze is applied by hand in a manner that accentuates the relief and lets the clay body show through.

Cha-Rie Tang is the founder of Pasadena Craftsman Tile, she is an architect, artisan, designer, and public artist. While always fascinated with ceramics and sculpture, Cha-Rie came to tile making by happy accident when a friend stumbled across original Ernest Batchelder plaster molds buried in his yard. Now many years later her passion for ceramics has grown as well as her desire to share it with her clients and customers. Cha-Rie's public art commissions span Los Angeles and Orange County and include the Monrovia Gold Line Metro stop, Pasadena's A.R.T. Bus, the City of Los Angeles Public Library at Exposition Park, Los Angeles County Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, and the City of Mission Viejo Arts Alive Festivals.
