About Our Coasters
Let’s face it: not all coasters are created equal, and that’s why we’re so excited to tell you about ours. At Foothills Studio, we’ve taken the humble coaster and turned it into a functional piece of art—perfect for collectors, casual shoppers, and other artists alike.
Our ceramic coasters aren’t just tools to protect your furniture; they’re little masterpieces that can brighten up your home or office as a stand alone art piece on a small plate rack or easel. Many people collect coasters as keepsakes from their travels, while others are drawn to specific themes like barns, vintage trucks, trains, or birds. These coasters are designed to appeal to all kinds of collectors while still serving their practical purpose.
What Sets Our Coasters Apart
When you buy a typical art coaster, it often comes with a protective coating like resin, acrylic spray, or two-part epoxy. While these coatings enhance the artwork’s depth and beauty, they often create problems for everyday use. Have you ever picked up a mug of hot coffee only to have the coaster stick to the bottom and crash onto the table (or worse, the floor)? It’s frustrating—and it defeats the purpose of a coaster.
Our ceramic coasters solve this problem. They’re made to be both beautiful and trouble-free. Using a unique sublimation process, we permanently embed our original artwork into specially coated ceramic tiles. Here’s how it works:
We print our designs in-house using special sublimation dyes.
The printed image is placed on a specially coated ceramic tile and subjected to extreme heat and pressure.
Under these conditions, the coating on the tile softens and absorbs the dyes as they turn to gas, merging the artwork directly into the tile.
Once cooled, the coating returns to its original state, locking the design into the ceramic surface.
The result? Vibrant, durable coasters that won’t stick to your mug or scratch your furniture.
A Range of Designs and Custom Options
Our most popular coasters feature artwork from the talented artists at Foothills Studio. You’ll also find unique designs sourced from the public domain, like vintage patent drawings and early 20th-century advertisements. Each piece is a blend of artistry and nostalgia, making it perfect for gift-giving or personal enjoyment.
Looking for something more personal? We can create custom coasters from your own photos or artwork. Whether it’s a family photo, a beloved pet, or a favorite painting, we’ll transform your image into a high-quality ceramic coaster. Simply contact us to make arrangements.
