Zodiac Collection

Pewabic co-founder Mary Chase Perry Stratton visited Europe in 1924 to gain inspiration for a large tile installation in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. Visiting sacred spaces in Portugal, Spain, and Italy, Mary was inspired by the crossover of astrology and religion in ancient architecture. Throughout her career, she utilized astrological symbols in her installations in religious spaces and as decoration on vessels.

Each tile in our Zodiac Collection features a bas-relief artistic rendering of the twelve signs of the astrological calendar hand-sculpted by Pewabic Designer Chris Mayse. 

This collection is still in progress! Stay tuned as we release each new tile.
