Mokuleia Slaughterhouse Maui Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
A crescent bay on West Maui, between Kapalua and Honolua. A steep path of railroad-tie stairs drops from Highway 30 down through ironwoods to the sand. The slaughterhouse the beach is named for came down in the 1960s; the name stuck the way nicknames do. The water reads like a swimming pool in summer, clear enough to see turtles drifting over the reef. In winter the swell rebuilds the shore. It is part of a marine conservation district, so the fish stay; the snorkelers come and go.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
