— a note from the studio

“A small white-clapboard village in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, set on the gentle rise where the Squam range begins. The green carries the town hall, the Federated Church, and the old brick library, all within a short walk. The Sandwich Fair has come in on the green every Columbus Day weekend since 1910. Quiet most other days. from the studio

— the year

The Sandwich Fair has run on Columbus Day weekend on and around the village green since 1910, making it one of the oldest continuous agricultural fairs in New England. Oxen pulls, draft-horse pulls, a working blacksmith demonstration, and a fiddle contest sit beside livestock judging and a pumpkin weigh-off. The fair sets up early in the week and is gone by Tuesday morning; the green returns to its everyday self within a day.

It reads carefully for that. The green is the recognised image of the town, and locals associate it with the fair, the church, and the library. A Small or Medium with a handwritten card carries well.

New England Traditional, Farmhouse-modern, and Lakes Region cottage interiors. The white clapboard, slate greys, and late-summer greens read against warm wood, ivory linen, and worn brass.

A single Large reads above a standard sofa. A 4-tile Mural carries a longer console wall, and a 9-tile Mural anchors a longer dining or living room wall.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and built for vertical installations like backsplashes and shower walls. Glossy is meant for framed wall art.

A microfibre cloth with plain water. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, beneath a thin glossy finish, so household cleaners are not needed.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is painted in the studio's own visual language and hand-finished in-house. No licensing, no third-party art, one studio.
