Out of refuse comes each glorious Ellen Blakeley Tile, repurposed into an elegant surface material. Each collection of Ellen Blakeley Tile consists of 45 original palettes; tiles can be customized to your specifications.

Within the Ellen Blakeley Studio, you’ll find a collection of twelve tiles that spans four categories: Shimmer, which is a study in the subtly of shine; Pop, a study of delicious colors that sparkle and dance; Organic, which are real leaves that punctuate the seasonal skies; Metallic, the refracted glint in a natural terrain. Once you grout these extraordinary tiles together, you will be amplifying the finished effect: putting back together what was once broken.

When you peruse the different collections from Ellen Blakeley Tile, you might stop on the Winter Whites Collection. This collection consists of Rapunzel, Snow Pearl, and Stoli. In the Elements Collection, you will find an array of dazzling color: After Dark (AIR), Amazon (WATER), Gold Coast (METAL), Moss (EARTH), and Pompeii (FIRE).

The Core Collection consists of the following: Amber Jewel, Anna’s Gold, Bamboo, Black Lace, Blossom, Blue Jewel, Champagne, Deep Silver, Dirt, Dot Calm Gold, Garden, Glinda’s Dress, Grecian Spa – Gold, Grecian Spa – Silver, Meadow, Mixed Metals, N Pink, New Dirt, New Yorker, Pearl, Platinum Blonde, Royal Violet, Smokey Charcoal, Toga Party, Turquoise Lace, True Blood, Sweet Young Thing, and Vineyard.

When you purchase Ellen Blakeley Tile, you are getting a recycled material that is resistant to fading, durable, and sustainable. The tempered glass that she uses is recycled from commercial glass companies in Northern California. Ellen Blakeley Tile is created using sanded water-based grout and low VOC paints. Truly a green product at its most magnificent.

The story goes that Ellen was cleaning up some vandalism in her neighborhood one day, which happened to be some shattered glass that had been shot out of a bus shelter. Inspiration hit, and she began to experiment with tempered glass. Its transparency made it the perfect medium for unending variations of colors and designs in the mosaic style.

But Ellen Blakeley has taken mosaic to the next level. With a combination of pigments and grouting, as well as the use of ordinary objects, such as lace and leaves and paper, fused with epoxy resin, she has created a unique and vibrant line of glass tile that can be used in a million different applications. It isn’t just tile, it’s art.

And responsible art, at that. The primary resource for Ellen Blakeley’s glass products is recycled tempered glass obtained from commercial glass companies’ waste materials. Someone else’s trash and all. This recycled glass is deliberately broken into fragments and used, along with different paints and grout, to create glass tiling (among other things). Ellen uses low-VOC paints and water-based grout in her made-to-order products, which is good for the environment as well as for keeping indoor emissions low.

One of the collections Ellen Blakeley offers is Winter Whites, a line of tile whose glass has had all the green pigment removed, resulting in spectacularly bright white mosaics. Add a touch of gold accent, and the effect is amazing. Also available is the Elements collection, which as its name implies is inspired by the elements of the earth—air, water, fire, and earth, with metal and “after dark” added to the mix. These are just two of the collections. Take a look at Ellen’s work, and see for yourself…and maybe add a touch of dazzle to your next project.
