About

Hand glazed tile in the Sonoran Desert.

Carly Quinn Designs was founded in 2011 with the idea of bringing life to an age old art form known as Cuerda Seca. Based in Tucson, Arizona, we are one of a handful of studios across the globe that creates hand glazed tiles using this old world technique.

All of our tiles are hand painted by our talented artists and fired at 2,000 degrees to create lasting works of art.

Each tile is a unique work of art and glaze variations add to the inherent beauty of each piece. We are not a manufacturing facility, our pieces have the element of human touch and no two are exactly alike.
