— a note from the studio

“Signed into law by Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872, Yellowstone was the first national park anywhere in the world. Everything that followed, from Yosemite's federal status to the Serengeti, learned from this one. The geysers, the canyon, the bison, the wolves, the lake the size of a small state. A century and a half later, it is still the marquee.

from the studio

— bring it home

Yellowstone is the marquee, 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 Yellowstone is the marquee

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

Yellowstone covers 2.2 million acres across northwest Wyoming, southern Montana, and eastern Idaho, sitting atop one of the largest active volcanic systems on Earth. It holds roughly half the world's known geysers, the largest high-elevation lake in North America, and the country's only continuously wild bison herd. Designated by Congress on March 1, 1872, it is the world's first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. The park is administered by the National Park Service from headquarters at Mammoth Hot Springs.

— the year

Yellowstone draws between 3.5 and 4.9 million visits a year, with July and August accounting for nearly half. June and September are the practical sweet spots: roads fully open, crowds thinned, wildlife active. October brings the first snows and the elk rut at Mammoth. November through April most of the interior closes to wheeled vehicles; the Lamar Valley road from Mammoth to Cooke City stays plowed, and winter wolf-watching there is some of the best on the continent.

— informed by NPS Visitation Stats

— the visit

Five entrances serve the park: North at Gardiner, Northeast at Cooke City, East from Cody, South from Jackson and Grand Teton, and West at West Yellowstone. The nearest commercial airports are Bozeman, Jackson, and Cody. Lodging inside the park is run by Xanterra and books out a year in advance for peak summer. Gateway towns absorb the overflow. The standard entrance fee is 35 dollars per vehicle for seven days; the America the Beautiful pass at 80 dollars covers the year across all federal lands.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Yellowstone is the marquee — and about bringing the piece home.

— about the place

Congress designated Yellowstone the world's first national park on March 1, 1872, signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant. UNESCO added it to the World Heritage list in 1978.

2.2 million acres, roughly 3,468 square miles, spread across northwest Wyoming with smaller portions in Montana and Idaho. It is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.

Between 3.5 and 4.9 million annual visits in recent years, with the 2021 peak at 4.86 million. July and August carry nearly half of that traffic.

It sits over an active supervolcano and holds roughly half the world's geysers, including Old Faithful and Steamboat. It also holds the only continuously wild Plains bison herd in the United States.

Late June and September balance open roads, active wildlife, and lighter crowds. Winter offers wolf-watching in Lamar Valley but closes most of the interior to wheeled vehicles.

— about the piece in your home

It often is. Yellowstone is a lifelong place for many visitors, and a tile that names the park itself, not one specific feature, carries the whole memory. A Medium or Large reads as a real keepsake.

It anchors mountain-modern, lodge, and warm transitional rooms. The colour palette runs through sage, geyser blues, and canyon ochres, so the tile sits comfortably alongside leather, oak, and natural linen.

Yes. The current wave of park-themed art has moved past printed posters toward single, painterly pieces tied to one place. Yellowstone is the founding park, so it leads most collections.

A Large above a console or reading chair carries the scale. For a sofa-width wall, a 4-tile Mural earns the wall, and a 9-tile Mural fills a great-room fireplace.

Yes. Choose Dura Satin or Matte for any wet or steamy room. Both finishes are scratch-resistant and hold colour through years of steam, splashes, and daily wipe-downs.

Microfibre cloth and plain water. No abrasives, no ammonia, no glass cleaner. The colour is set into the ceramic surface, so the tile asks for very little.
