Our gardens, terraces and courtyards can tell stories too. Discover how bespoke hand-carved tiles can transform an outdoor wall into a piece of art created especially for its surroundings.

Every commission begins with a story, a memory, a place, a few treasured words or a moment someone wants to hold onto. Through listening, carving and clay, those stories slowly become something tangible: a piece made by hand, created to become part of a home and the life lived within it.

Sometimes it takes someone else telling your story to remind you why it began. When DRIFT Journal stepped inside the world of Alchemy Tiles, they explored not only the centuries-old craft behind my work, but the memories, conversations and human stories that find their way into every piece I create.
