All of our patterns start with three somewhat dark base colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten and brighten the other three. This fourth color is usually White, but we sometimes also use Tan, Yellow or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished product is called a "cane" and can be compared to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the pattern is visible in any cross-section.

The RETRO cane is the result of pushing layers of color through a clay gun. The block is reduced and recombined to make a complex square cane that looks like something out of the 1960's.

One way to make a similar cane can be found on the HGTV website.

This pattern was first developed in 2004
