Our Alverno Studios Ceramic Tiles

All ceramic tiles are produced in Sylvania at Alverno Studio, under the direction of Sister Jane Mary Sorosiak OSF and Sister Margaret Hall OSF. The process is the same used to make the ceramic murals on the Franciscan Center and other shrines on campus. Since each tile is handmade: fired, glazed and fired again, there will be slight differences in size and color. All tiles come ready to hang.
