Earthstone Tile Works

"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight or for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'See! This our father did for us'."
- John Ruskin


A few years back, Brian at PRIMER designed the identity and website for Philadelphia master tile installation company, Earthstone Tile Works. Not only is this husband and wife team a tile company, they are artists. Tiffany uses her eye for interior design to help clients realize their vision and Jason brings that vision to life. Look at the beautiful work that they do. The love shows through in the precision with which each tile, some in intricate patterns, is set.

This past Saturday night, Earthstone had an open house to celebrate it's new storefront location at 1224 Tasker Street. We know the endless hard work that it takes to build your own company, and the pride that results in having something that is "yours", that you have put everything into. Brian had a great idea to have me illustrate the Earthstone store front to give to Jason and Tiffany as a gift to congratulate them on their success. They loved it! Congratulations, guys!
