Dispatch of three stunning encaustic panels for the Capitol. |
| The latest, and arguably, best ever panels for The Capitol Building, Washington DC, have been dispatched. These panels featured a beautiful round pattern and are some of the finest ever produced. Originally made in Stoke by Minton the replacements have been meticulously copied from the existing tiles still located on the second floor corridor of the Senate. The panels, which had to be dry laid at our workshop, were featured by both the Sentinel (Sunday 1st October 2006) and BBC Midlands Today TV (11th October 2006)

Maw & Co Ltd in Central Park NY. |
| Maw & Co has won the contract to replace the famous encaustic ceiling tiles in Bethesda Terrace, Central Park, New York. Due to deterioration of the metal attachment system the tiles have been falling off the ceiling and work began to restore this unique ceiling in 1983. Each of the 49,256 tile, panels were taken down and so began the long process of designing and testing a new fixing system. With all the testing now complete the project is reaching it's final stages with the completely restored terrace due to reopen in 2007.
