Madera Canyon

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

More than 250 bird species have been recorded in the canyon, including the elegant trogon, painted redstart, and fifteen species of hummingbird. Its mix of Sonoran, oak woodland, and pine habitats sits along a migration corridor up from Mexico.

In the Santa Rita Mountains, about 25 miles south of Tucson within the Coronado National Forest. The mouth of the canyon is reached from Interstate 19 at Green Valley by way of Madera Canyon Road.

The road tops out near 5,500 feet at the upper trailhead. From there the Old Baldy and Super trails climb Mount Wrightson, the high peak of the Santa Ritas at 9,453 feet. The summit climb gains about 4,000 vertical feet.

Trogons typically arrive from northern Mexico in mid-April and remain through late summer to nest. They are most often heard before they are seen, calling from oak and sycamore along the creek.

The greens, ochres, and stone tones sit well with desert-modern, southwestern, and warm rustic rooms. The colour cross-references oak, leather, hand-thrown stoneware, and wool throws.

A single Large carries a six-foot sofa. Above an eight-foot sofa, a four-tile Mural opens the canyon across the wall; for a feature wall, a nine-tile Mural sets the canyon at room scale.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and stand up to steam and humidity, which suits backsplashes, shower surrounds, and powder rooms.

A soft microfibre cloth and clean water. No solvents, no abrasive pads. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure and lives in the surface itself.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is painted in the studio's own visual language by Reid Wender and finished in Knoxville, Tennessee. Nothing is licensed from another source and the work is sold only through Wender Studios.
