Stiles in Clay was established in 1998 by Chris Stiles to fulfill a need to design and make work from materials under the title of craft.   A common thread running through Chris’s work is the ability to be inventive, inviting, playful, tactile and most importantly,  expressive of the human spirit.  When talking about art and design, Chris is often quoted as saying, “It’s just material until someone sculpts their thoughts into it.”
