Carina Works

Original handmade artistic tile and custom ceramic wall tile. Located in Austin, TX.
"Carina Works" is named after the spectacular Carina Nebula in our solar system where celestial stars are born, a beautiful reminder of the miracle of creation and the gift that mankind inherited in his ability to bring beauty into our everyday life.
In 1997, Libby Fenner, an artisan with a degree in music, and Charlie Foster, a glaze technician and restoration artist, founded Carina Works, Incorporated.
Fenner and Foster became aware of a need for unique contemporary hardware. They spent several years in R D to develop a glazing process using environmentally friendly components combining original art with a rich durable glass-like glaze on aluminum. The art and glaze are permanently fused together with the metal. Armed with endless ideas and a passion to create something beautiful and unique as well as functional, Carina Works metal cabinet hardware was conceived. After years of research and development with a huge array of materials, Carina Works hardware evolved into an extensive and diverse line of "jewelry" for the home.
