Handmade Tile Artists

Find a tile artist that matches your style. The Handmade Tile Association features 33 tile artists making custom tile projects, mosaics, tile art for homes, businesses and public art. The goal is to match a tile artist that works in the style or genre your project requires (Arts & Crafts, contemporary, hand painted, Italian, architectural, realistic, mosaic, whimsical, zen, art deco, historic matching, glass, majolica, etc.)

This site allows you to contact each artist directly and set up appointment or find a local tile showroom, gallery, or arts festival to see their work.

The tile artists named on the left are all members of the Handmade Tile Association. To view the work, click on their name. Tile artists with their own website appear with a * next to their name. Their site will launch in a new window.
