Jasper National Park

— a sky wider than the road that brought you.

Where it lives

Not only on a wall.

A small tile on the nightstand catching the morning. A larger one above the fire. Yours, wherever you spend the slow hours.
On the nightstand, a 6-inch on a walnut stand
Among the books, a 6-inch leaning into the spines
Beside the kettle, a 12-inch propped
Down a quiet hall, an 18-inch floating off the wall
Above the fire, the 24-inch in a walnut surround
a note from the studio

The largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, more than 11,000 square kilometres of peaks, glaciers, and dark sky. The Icefields Parkway runs south to Banff, past the Athabasca Glacier. Maligne Lake sits an hour east of town, with Spirit Island at the far end. The town of Jasper is rebuilding after the 2024 wildfire. The mountains, as ever, kept going. — from the studio

Jasper National Park, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

about Jasper National Park

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
the place

Jasper National Park covers 11,000 square kilometres of the Canadian Rockies in western Alberta, making it the largest of the four mountain parks. Established in 1907, it forms part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site, joined with Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay. The Icefields Parkway connects Jasper south to Lake Louise; the Athabasca and Columbia glaciers sit at the shared boundary. The town of Jasper, on the Athabasca River, is the only townsite inside the park.

the air

Jasper was designated a Dark Sky Preserve in 2011 — the second-largest accessible dark sky preserve in the world. The annual Dark Sky Festival in October draws astronomers and photographers to the Athabasca River valley. On clear nights the Milky Way reads directly overhead from Pyramid Lake and Maligne Lake. Aurora activity reaches Jasper several nights a month between September and April.

the season

Summer (late June through early September) brings the warmest days and full access to Maligne Lake and the Skyline Trail. Larch turn the last week of September. Winter shuts the high backcountry but opens Marmot Basin for skiing and the Maligne Canyon ice walk. The July 2024 wildfire burned roughly a third of the structures in the townsite; the surrounding park remains open, with rebuilding ongoing through 2026.

common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Jasper National Park — and about bringing the piece home.
about the place

In western Alberta, Canada, on the eastern slope of the Canadian Rockies. The town of Jasper sits on the Athabasca River, about 290 kilometres northwest of Banff along the Icefields Parkway.

About 11,000 square kilometres, the largest of Canada's four contiguous Rocky Mountain national parks. It joins Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Highway 93 between Jasper and Lake Louise, roughly 230 kilometres. It passes the Athabasca Glacier and the Columbia Icefield and is widely considered one of the great mountain drives.

Yes, designated in 2011. It remains the second-largest accessible dark sky preserve in the world and hosts an annual Dark Sky Festival each October.

The Jasper Wildfire Complex in July 2024 burned a portion of the townsite and stretches of forest. The park stayed open through 2025 and 2026; rebuilding in town is ongoing.

Late June through early September for hiking and Maligne Lake access. Late September for larch colour. December through March for skiing at Marmot Basin and the Maligne Canyon ice walk.

about the piece in your home

Often, yes. Jasper holds a particular place in Albertan memory and for anyone who has driven the Icefields Parkway. A Medium or Large with a handwritten note from the studio carries well.

Many customers have used it that way. The piece honours the wider park rather than the loss, and reads as a quiet steady image of a place that endures.

Mountain-modern, Alpine, and warm Scandinavian rooms. The cool blues and dark spruce greens also sit well against natural oak, wool, and stone.

A single Large for a standard sofa. For a wider wall or open-plan room, a 4-tile or 9-tile Mural extends the ridgeline across the space.

Yes, in Dura Satin or Matte. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so steam and splash do not affect it.

A soft microfibre cloth with plain water. Nothing abrasive. The thin glossy finish wipes clean and never needs sealing.

Yes. Reid Wender is the curator. Every tile is hand-finished in our Knoxville studio, with no third-party licensing.
