CR Studio 4 is a handmade and hand-glazed ceramic tile studio located in sunny Southern California. Established over 25 years ago in a home garage, we have grown into a 5,500-square-foot art tile factory while maintaining our commitment to quality and artistic integrity. Our ceramic tiles, brick, and metal products are all crafted in the United States, combining functional durability with aesthetic appeal. We specialize in custom glazes that offer unique visual qualities, setting our products apart in the world of art tile. Our glazed brick line complements our ceramic offerings, providing endless design possibilities for residential and commercial spaces. With over two decades of experience pouring solid bronze and pewter tiles, we pioneered the metal tile movement by creating installations that pair metal art tile with stone, ceramic, and glass.Our bronze tiles are made from 97% recycled materials and are poured in our on-site foundry, allowing for custom projects of exceptional quality. We maintain complete control over our production process, hand-making all tiles in our studio rather than importing bisque from overseas. Our dedication to craftsmanship extends to our display concept boards, which showcase our extensive range of glaze colors and tile configurations. We serve clients nationwide, providing detailed product specifications and working closely with designers, architects, and contractors to ensure successful installations.
