Meet Mel
Alchemy Tiles began as a quiet rebellion, a journey back to joy and to the ancient, soulful craft of hand-carved encaustic tiles. What started as an apprenticeship became a celebration of transformation, where clay holds beauty, meaning, and magic.
“any seemingly magical process of transmuting ordinary materials into something of true merit.”
