Pailoa Sea Arch Maui Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
A natural arch of black basalt at the edge of Paʻiloa Bay, on Maui's eastern coast. The lava cooled here a few centuries ago and the Pacific has been working at it ever since. Sea stacks, blowholes, a lava tube you can walk through, and this one clean opening where the swell runs in and out. Mile 32 on the Hana Highway, 53 miles past Kahului. Reservations are required for non-resident visitors. Best at low tide and the back end of the afternoon, when the basalt warms up against the cool of the water.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
