About GrafixMat Coasters:

Each GrafixMat® is a work of art, masterfully laser-engraved on the cork front with a unique and amusing story colorfully illustrated on its flip-side.  For a treasured gift or your own personal collection; select one or create a set of 2, 4, 6 or more from 21 themed Collections totaling more than 500 contemporary and fine art designs.  Made from eco-friendly recycled cork from Portugal and Spain, yet handcrafted in the U.S.A. GrafixMats® are so artfully designed and intriguing, we've created a hanging hole in the back of each coaster.

The Back Story:

Pennsylvania Dutch Treat  

For visitors to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, hex signs remain a colorful and delightful gift or souvenir, as they are truly unique to the Pennsylvania Dutch area. The wonderful tradition lives on with the enthusiasm and personalities of today’s ‘hex artists’, adding to an already rich culture. Furthermore, their use of modern techniques and materials has had much to do with the proliferation of these
 colorful designs.
          ‘Hexologists’, those who study hex signs, find it interesting that there is a growing market for custom designed hex signs. It seems as if people wish to transport the spirit of the place and the heart of the people into their own community.
