Catalina Tiles




From 1927 to 1937 the Wriggleys operated a pottery that made tiles and vessels from local Catalina clay.  It was used to decorate the stores on Main Street





and benches along the waterfront.


This modern mural decorates a wall with scenes from the island,


and this bank machine is also decorated with tile.



TIles are used on memorial monuments:


And this mosaic greets visitors coming off the ferry:
