Miila Studios
Miila Studios, Ltd. was founded in 2000 by Michael Grubb & Laura Getzoff. Michael & Laura have both studied hot glass forming techniques at the prestigious Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning NY. Michael is a self taught pastel artist and has explored exotic metal forming techniques for the past twenty years. Originally trained as a painter at the Tyler school of art in Pennsylvania, Laura became enthusiastic about the many artistic aspects of tile while managing an upscale tile showroom in Philadelphia. Michael’s experience with exotic metals and Laura’s knowledge of color and design is what encouraged the marriage of glass & metal together in one tile. The unique aspect of using these two contrasting elements has created our most successful decorative tile line to date.
Miila Studios has developed innovative and unique products in both the glass and metal mediums. We presently manufacture several lines of handmade kiln fired glass tile, as well as a line of hand cast metal tile which is made from both solid bronze and solid aluminum. A common comment from our clients is “We’ve never seen anything like this before”. We are constantly experimenting with new techniques and materials through our custom projects, which are how many of the works in our product line are born. We enjoy the thought process and excitement that goes into the development and introduction of each new product.
