Bedrock Industries

We did a master suite remodel, including the bath areas. I was so inspired by what I saw at Bedrock Industries, I had our contractor/​brother, bring it to Fort Worth, TX with him. The designer, Chris Munford, spent time, helping me with a layout that utilized the Pinwheel pattern, and I was able to use all my favorite tile, without it looking crazy. First rate service and quality. I would tell anyone to try them out, if you want something unique!

BONUS: Take and receive from the free RUBBLE pile! It’s easy to build quick walls or fill in muddy places with chopped up bits of concrete. Keep it out of the landfill! Seattle sends all its landfill waste on a TRAIN to E. Oregon! Why send big chunks of concrete for burial in Oregon when you can take and receive good rubble karma here. See also my still current review from 2008. Occasional glass workshops are offered here. Sign up at the cashier’s desk. Mix and match your bobbles and make your own ornaments. A glass heart or star is always an inexpensive, welcome gift for any occasion.
Nice fresh bricks used to be free, but now are available for purchase. Driveway to the store is on the EAST side of the street.

this is a whole in the wall kind of place, feels like you are entering on to a homeless camp site. but the is a lot cool things for tile or glass projects.

This unique and artistically created and crafted business is one of a kind. I love the fact that they use all recycled material and are local artists. Please, help their business keep growing and continue to thrive for the next ten to 20 years in the Northwest. They need your support to keep their doors open. Buy your holiday gifts, your house ware, tile, garden creations here! They’re wonderful and the owners are wonderful too! Please help them stay standing. We need to support our local companies and artists. I love this place and I know everyone who visits and buys from them will love it too.

Really original and useful place. Unlike the box stores they have a lot of different stones and minerals that don’t make your house look like a corporate office park garden. Very helpful staff and easy location one you find it.

I was introduced to this lovely place by a friend, who brought me here when we were looking for some cheap bottles for homebrewing (and for the fun of it). We didn’t end up buying any since we were looking for a particular type, but it was so fun to walk around and look at all the beautiful different glasses. Honestly, if I had to describe this place, it sort of reminds me of that garden in that cheesy 90s movie, Harriet the Spy (
!).
They have many assorted colors in all different sizes– tile size, ground up glass (perfect for putting in a vase for a nice centerpiece!), and a random free-​for-​all pile, among other things. They also sell some cool trinkets, I got some cute glass-​blown earrings of random animals on the cheap (I had to, they were only $ 2!).
I would really love to take a class here. And the guy helping us was nice and let us look at their bottle collection.
FYI– next time you have a big party with large consumption of beverages, they will happily pay for your bottles. They don’t pay that much, but I don’t know any other place that does pay for it in WA. Plus, you get to have an excuse to visit the all the pretty things =)

My mom introduced me to this place a long time ago and I absolutely LOVE it. If you are a crafty person like me you will find tons of glass (all colors) and tiles that you can use for your projects (Mosaic/​garden pathway projects, etc.). A lot of their stuff is outside, but be sure to go into the actual workshop as they have some pretty items that make great gifts.
They have classes here as well, which I have yet to try but will when I find the time. This place can be a little hard to find if you’re not familiar with the area as you cannot see if from the main street, but it is a hidden gem for sure!

I recently took a mosiac glass class at Bedrock, you get to make two masterpieces during the class. Our instructor Ailana was brilliant, she has a real talent for coaxing your creativity out. I was really impressed with my final product.
The selection of products is amazing, any type of glass you need for your projects is available. They had some great examples of backsplashes and bathroom projects.

Went to Bedrock to access stock, expecting that I would create my own design, but had really great help from the staff there. They have great design ideas yet listen to what you are looking for. Tiles are beautiful, as is their other stuff. I was out to complete a «chore» and wound up doing that PLUS really enjoying the process. Bonus! Highly recommended, even if you just want to browse.

Bedrock is fantastic. They’ve got every color of glass you’ll need, plus piles of excess tile and glass that you could spend hours picking though. You’ll find unique pieces inside the shop. I was there around Halloween, and if I were the type of person to decorate I would have bought the Frankenstein — it was the most unique Halloween decoration I’ve seen in years.
The staff is ultra friendly and helpful, although they are prone to disappear if you’re there in the middle of the week and are the only customer around. For those who have never been, they are located down an alley and hidden behind another building. If you miss the left turn, just take the next one and circle around to the left behind the building. You’ll find it.

Bedrock is a hidden gem in Seattle. Staff are friendly and helpful and give excellent advice if you are working on a project or wish to have a special piece made by their artists. I often bring out-​of-​town guests here for a visit as there is always something new to admire… it’s like a mini museum of rock and glass, plus their «found items» that come and go are worth returning for often to see what new treasure is available.

Love, love, LOVE this place!
Perfect for those who are working on home projects/​landscaping/​gardening and are looking for some unique detailing.
We were looking for smallerish pieces of glass for FOREVER to wire onto our balcony to give it some color, and after searching for what seemed to be forever, we stumbled upon a booth at the Edmonds summer fair. While we didn’t see exactly what we were looking for, the woman at the booth promised us that the factory outlet itself had a much grander selection, and she wasn’t kidding!
I could have wandered around this place for forever… they had tons of recycled glass for practically any project you could imagine. And after the helpful assistance of one of the associates, we were able to find exactly what we were looking for.
I suppose it is all relative if you think this place is expensive or not — the glass pieces that we found were about $ 1 per ounce… so about 15 decent sized glass stones later, we were looking at around $ 40. Not too bad. The sales associate even gave us pointers and showed us examples of how we could hang the glass.
Bedrock Industries is such a great place! I will definitely be back.

How did I not know about this place earlier?
I blame every single Unilocaler for not telling me to drive down Elliott Ave, take a turn underneath the Magnolia bridge, drive past the «Center for Sex Positive Culture» and walk down the adjacent alley. I know it might sound ominous but I’m a trusting and intrepid explorer! At least when it comes to matters of home improvement.
Bedrock Industries is all about the glass. And I’m all about their recycled glass tiles. They are so light and airy, they have a depth that can only come from being handmade, no two are alike and they have an ethereal quality that I think would look quite nice in my shower.
Since they’re recycled you can feel good knowing that you’re not wasting precious natural resources to tile the walk-​in rain shower of your dreams. They can be a little pricey so I would suggest planning out your project and fitting these in as accent pieces. You can also cut down the cost if you don’t mind getting a little grubby in their stone yard by sifting through the «half off tiles.»
Skip The Home Depot and head here next time you want to embark upon a tiling project. The guys in Old School can’t make fun of a trip like this!

this place is so cool. i first saw it on an hgtv show, and had to stop by while in seattle. they have some of the most beautiful tile and handmade artwork made from recycled glass.
my hubby and i are always working on a project, and if the glass tile was affordable, we would definitely be sending some home. unfortunately, the tiles that i fell in love with were pretty pricey. so we opt for buying some handmade artwork, two robots holding hands made of glass. we also get a girlie robot to take home to mom-​in-​law. and i couldn’t resist picking up a few decorative glass balls that had amazing colors. wish there was a place like this near my hood.

Check out their website for all the scoop
and then head down to see all the beautiful glass for yourself! The Stoneyard is super fun with all sorts of glass pieces, big and small, for various projects. A nice assortment of gifty type things and then cool super huge projects that are just fun to gawk at. Their special order tile is pricey but the stoneyard has seconds at a lower price (4×4 tile at $ 2.75 each), and even those look pretty great. The guy was super nice and helpful and they advertise mosaic classes. The tumbled glass is gorgeous and I’m sure you could think of all sorts of fun things to do with it. We can’t wait to do a bathroom wall in recycled glass tile!
