Golden Gate Bridge II
Building an American Icon is hard work, but it also comes with a pride and joy like no other. After spending 12 hours hip deep pushing concrete around Charlie Heinbockel could be found at the top of the Golden Gate bridge drinking his mothers home brewed beer and taking in a view like no other in the world. Legendary bridge ironworker Al Zampa probably said it best: "It Had magic, some kind of magic to it," he said. "We wanted to go out there, probably would have worked for half the money, I got just to be there." So even if you're not there right now, you can sit back, drink your favorite beverage and enjoy our recreation of the view. Just don't throw your bottles like Charlie did.

All of our tiles are handmade in Texas. We use the cuenca, or arista, technique, in which the glaze colors are prevented from mingling in the firing process by raised borders molded into the clay
Because we individually press and glaze every tile there is a slight variation which lends to their handmade beauty. The size and weight of each of our tiles hearkens back to the days of true craftsmanship.
