Inside the studio - the making of a poppy tile.

Let's talk tiles.

Every Poppy tile begins long before paint touches timber. 

It begins with colour studies, tiny sketches, experiments in texture and that moment all artists chase - when a palette or design suddenly “clicks.”

From there, panels of sustainably sourced, formaldehyde free, Australian made birch ply timber is cut into tiles that are then prepped, sanded, primed and guided into their final personality.

poppy standard tiles are base-colours painted in slow, even layers to create the foundational colour of a composition. Some base-colours are applied in a very painterly manner with thickened paint and texture.

poppy enhanced tiles begin as hand-painted base colours, then receive screen-printed overlays taken directly from my original artwork. Each layer adds depth, texture, and personality - a little artistic spark to anchor your composition.

poppy premium tiles one-off original pieces, each completely unique, signed on the back and never repeated. They’re the storytelling moments that breathe mood and meaning into your collection.

Tile sizes start at 70x70mm, then 70x140mm, 140x140mm, 140x280mm, 280x280mm. Maintaining these sizes ensures your poppy combinations will always sit well together.

No tile is rushed.
Nothing is mass-produced.
Every mark is intentional.

Small batch is not a tagline — it’s a rhythm, a promise, a way of making that keeps each poppy piece genuinely special.
