About The Artist
Mercedes Austin • Minneapolis, MN
Ceramics
Take a Pee Wee Herman devotee, add a touch of Tarantino, and a couple Lisa Frank stickers and you have Mosaic Candy Shop founder Mercedes Austin. Dedicated to the sustainability practices of Mercury Mosaics, the mother brand, Mosaic Candy Shop celebrates mosaics as a form of self-expression, productive leisure, and self-care, embracing a community of all kinds of crafters. Mercedes Austin is an artist who owns a building supply company. Those building supplies just happen to be hand-crafted artisan tiles that find their way into homes, businesses, and spaces around the world. Mosaic Candy Shop fulfills the sustainability practice that no tile shall be left behind, and there’s room for all in the mosaic.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.Each piece of tile in the kits is part of a story that begins in our Minnesota workshops. Each kit confection is handpicked using upcycled, reclaimed misfit tile from the Mercury Mosaic Studio. These kits let every scrap and misfit have its moment of beauty. |
