Tiles of Stow Studio Workshops
Established in 1988, by Sebastian John and Odette Wells, Tiles of Stow is very much a traditional family business. We started making tiles soon after we were married as way to expand our passion for painting and sculpture.
Our first handmade tile ranges, such as Impressions, continue to be a firm favourite and our hand painted tiles, which include motif tiles, panels and murals are a popular addition to many kitchens and bathrooms.
As artists, we go to enormous lengths to ensure that each of our products are made to the highest standard. The permanence and durability of our tiles is very important to us - we want to be sure that you will enjoy them for years to come.

Hand paints and Murals
Sebastian and Odette both have art school backgrounds, and so hand painted tiles are an ideal way of using their skills in painting and illustration. |
Come and see us work
Our workshops are are adjoined to our showroom, and when you visit us you are welcome to take a look around and see how we make our tiles. We use industry standard techniques in our manufacturing, painting and firing, along with a few of our own methods, developed over the last 20 years.
We are always in the middle of working on a design project or painting a mural - we welcome a challenge such as this underwater mural now installed in a hospital recovery area. Click to see more of the project.

What we do
Specialist knowledge
We have had over 20 years experience designing, making and decorating tiles, and have undertaken numerous interesting projects - so yours could be next! Let us work with you to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.
Truely Hand Made
All our Impressions and Terracotta plaques are completely hand made. From wedging the clay to hand glazing, we do every thing by hand.
Fired in our Kilns
All our hand made tiles such as our Impressions ranges are fired at our studio workshops in our very hard-working kilns! We also use our own kilns for the firing of our hand painted tiles and murals.Let us show you the kiln room when you visit - it's the hub of the workshop.
Beautifully Finished
We pride ourselves on the quality of the glaze finish on our hand made tiles. Many hours are spent formulating the glazes to produce a lustrous and flawless result.

Some of the best Porcelain tiles in the world
We've been making the Impressions range for 20 years - our slide show takes you through the making process.
The
tiles arrived yesterday at 9am - very convenient. I opened the Impressions
tiles and have propped them up on the work surface and every time
I catch sight of them, I'm delighted.
