In one room at Ludowici, a large 3D printer churns out elaborate patterns for a refined slip casting process, resulting in an intricate hippocampus with many parts that slide together. In another area on the historic campus, artisans hand-carve scales and brainstorm drying techniques. gb&d goes behind the scenes to explore how the expert terra-cotta manufacturer is testing the limits of design at https://gbdmagazine.com/terra-cotta-restoration-and-design/.

Today, we celebrate 250 years of American independence - and the generations of hardworking people whose craftsmanship, innovation, and dedication have helped build this country.

For more than a century, Ludowici has proudly manufactured terra cotta roof tile in America. From our factory in New Lexington, Ohio, every tile reflects the enduring values of American manufacturing: quality, resilience, and pride in a job well done.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, we’re grateful to be part of America’s manufacturing story and honored to help preserve its architectural legacy for generations to come.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Ludowici!
