Diana Gillispieproduced what she calls, ?crazy earthenware non-functional pots? using a majolica decorative technique for a period after graduating from Rhode Island School of Design. She is alsoknown for a variety of approaches to tile production. Initially working with porcelain to reproduce Arts and Crafts inspired tile before moving on to develop her own tile designs. In 1996 production glazed tiles became a primary income source.
Gillespie used her interest in woodblock prints to develop a line of art relief tiles. The prototype tile is hand carved from which a plaster mold is created. Subsequent tiles are press-molded using the mold.
