Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis Ceramic Tile with Easel
Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis ceramic tile with easel has been printed from an original painting by North East artist Emily Ward. Emily has transferred her delightful painting onto a mini tile which would look lovely on any shelf or table top.
This traditional old dwelling with its thatched roof stands behind the bright colours of the Scottish heather and splashes of pink. The gentle blues and lilacs of the sky in the Outer Hebrides along with the tranquil setting really do give this mini tile a thoughtful feel.

Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis
The highlands and islands of Scotland were dotted with dwellings referred to as blackhouses
hundreds of years ago. They were long narrow buildings usually built parallel with each other.
They had dry stone walls and a thatched roof which was always blackened with the soot from the peat fire in the kitchen. They had no chimneys and small windows which caused the smoke from the fire to accumulate inside, escaping through the porous roof and hence blackening the roof.

Each ceramic tile is made from an original painting by North East Artist Emily Ward.
Each tile comes with it’s own wooden easel so your tile is easy to display.
There is a cork backing on each tile and each tile is individually wrapped in a cellophane bag.
All ceramic tiles are individually printed so there may be a slight variation in colour tones.
