A blog about the art, history, and philosophy of tile. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. It was another great night for a walk, and the stars were out. Which reminded me of this cool glass and porcelain tile by GranitiFiandre. And a quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:. If you're having trouble imagining a whole floor of this, let me help you:. Jewel Collection by GranitiFiandre. These tiles come in sizes up to 24' x 24" and are available in four colors: Eclipse, Gem, Infinity, and Shine.

Tile Style: May 2010

A blog about the art, history, and philosophy of tile. Friday, May 21, 2010. Difference between Encaustic and Cement. Last week I had a little rant on Twitter. It made me feel better, so I decided to devote a whole blog post to the topic. So, here it is, the scandal that I just can't keep quiet about any longer. Encaustic tiles and cement tiles are not the same thing! Briefly, encaustics are made of two or more colors of clay which are inlaid together making a pattern, then fired, sometimes more than onc...

Tile Style: March 2010

A blog about the art, history, and philosophy of tile. Sunday, March 28, 2010. Tile somewhere other than in the kitchen, laundry room or bathroom- this is a trend I see repeatedly at tile shows, in catalogues and in showrooms. The idea of tiling non-traditional rooms is interesting because I don’t see it much in North America, and in my work, I go into a lot of well-designed homes. So, is tiling the bedroom, living room, etc, really wildly popular elsewhere? There's Bisazza and Sicis, with their stunning...

Tile Style: Bravery
http://letstalktile.blogspot.com/2011/01/bravery.html
A blog about the art, history, and philosophy of tile. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Recently, a colleague asked me about choosing a tile for her kitchen backsplash, so I rattled off a few tile places for her to check out. The next day, she came back and told me how much she had loved the colorful, hand painted tiles on the Avente Tile. So that got me thinking… Why would she get tired of a beautiful tile that she loved, but not get tired of one she didn’t care much about to begin with? We discussed this toda...

A blog about the art, history, and philosophy of tile. Monday, March 21, 2011. What I saw at Coverings, part 2:. OK I've had to change gears a bit today and get back into Hesiod's Theogony. Which explains the birth of the gods, and even offers one of the first histories of literary criticism. (Don't ask, you wouldn't want to get me started on THAT topic.). It can be hard to shift gears from tile to poetry. oh, who am I kidding. I just lump it all together. Bon Ton Handmade Tile. Sunday, March 20, 2011.

A blog about the art, history, and philosophy of tile. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Why I'm excited to go to Coverings, part 1. Here is a lovely mosaic design by the divine Sara Baldwin. If you're a long-time reader of my blog, by now you already know that Sara is the founder of New Ravenna. Idea, although the concept of trying something completely radical has stuck with me. (I'll get back to you on how that will manifest itself, after I figure it out.). Next month, at Coverings. Paul, you were standing ne...
