After you’ve checked out our site, we’d love for you to come by and see the daily goins’ ons at our quirky handmade tile studio in the sticks of southern New Hampshire. If goofy dogs, cool tile, and an eclectic group of former interior designers, high end tile sales consultants, and art school dropouts having fun making tile, and often times experimenting with all things awesome is your thing, then our blog will be right up your alley. Even if its not, it’s a fun way to look into the magical world of handmade tile.

A Sneak Peek at the new Snow Dog Collection!

 Hi, everyone!

Spring has sprung here at the Wet Dog Tile studio! The birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and the air no longer hurts our faces when we walk outside. That's not to say we don't love winter! Icicles hanging from tree branches and a fresh blanket of snow make for a truly beautiful sight. Being located in New Hampshire we have a fondness for the winter season and love everything that comes along with it! While our current collections are aimed towards the spring, summer, and fall seasons, we felt as though it only made sense to finally include winter as well. 

We'd love to give you a sneak peek of our upcoming collection... the Snow Dog Collection!

The Snow Dog Collection features six new pre-designed murals, seven new pre-designed borders, and 35 new Friends in total!



Along with the murals, borders, and Friends, we'll be introducing 14 new additions to our Textures & Mini Mosaic palettes!

But wait, there's more!

We figured it was time to spruce up the current collections a little bit. We're saying goodbye to the Lake Dog and Pond Dog Collections... and combining them into one! The Lake, Pond, & River Dog Collection will also be featuring a new mural, border, and Friends!



This has been years in the making and we're so excited to finally be able to share this news with all of you! These changes will go live in May, so stay tuned!

New Installation Photos!

 Hi, everyone!

We've had our paws full here at the shop; we've got exciting news coming very soon! In the meantime, we'd love to share some new installation photos we've received from our lovely customers! These photos haven't hit the website just yet, so you're getting the first look!

This moose mural is installed in a walk-in shower. Our tile is perfect for wet applications such as this! This mural features our 7" Moose and various leaves from the Lake Dog Collection.

This wet bar backsplash really livens up this space and is packed with Friends from all of our collections! In it you can find deer, bear, dogs, fish, dragonflies, butterflies, ducks, turtles, and much more!

Another bathroom shower installation, this time focused on our Ocean Dog Collection. This mural features our 8" Large Sea Turtle, 6" Large Flat Sea Turtle, 6" Large Crab, and 6" Medium Seahorse just to name a few! The glaze colors really tie in with the surrounding brick glass field tile.

This kitchen backsplash mural is based off of our "Significant Otter" mural from the Ocean Dog Collection. This mural features our 3 otter variants as well as a 4" Small Starfish, 3" Small Crab, and 2 2" Shore Birds.

This mural was a fun one for us and includes a custom sculpted lighthouse! We glazed our handmade mosaic Drops in various warm tones and created a sunset scene that includes our 7" and 5.5" Fluid Fish, 4.5" Jumping Dog, and a few new pieces coming soon to the website! This mural is framed with our handmade Labrador rope molding from the Frames, Liners, & Rails Collection.

If you're hungry for more, head on over to our Photos & Ideas page and browse our photo galleries that contain nearly 300 photos! The photos in this blog post, and more, will be added soon!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
