Story Fireplace
This client collects primitive art from around the world. We created a smoky shape with clay that has a sandstone appearance when fired to maturity. Primitive cave drawings were then added with the storyteller revealing the interconnectedness of the creatures of the sea, the land, the air, and the heavens.

Ocean Themed Fireplace
Our clients were looking for something different, yet with an
ocean theme. We refaced their existing brick fireplace with light
marble, cutting in for the handsculpted seahorse inserts that latched
onto kelp growing around a rock all carved from conventional ceramic
tile. On the right side of the fireplace swim a small pod of sculpted
dolphins. Once the free-standing electric fireplace unit was installed
the sculpture was visually anchored.

Fern Themed Fireplace
Our client was looking for something creative to replace the tiled fireplace
surround in her upscale condo. She desired a "piece of art" that would
be unique to her.
Earth Attitudes created an easy flowing design that reflected her love
of nature. The gas fireplace insert is surrounded by large, stylized,
sculpted fern leaves. Real ferns were impressed into the hearth and
glazed to match the upright leaves. A solid wood mantle, naturally
finished to allow the rich color to show through, lent balance to the
overall structure. The resulting effect is a change of energy within the
room to that of inviting comfort and ambiance.
