The 26th Annual TileFest will be held May 16-17, 2026 in Doylestown, PA! For more than a century, tiles made at the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown have told stories about places, people, and craft traditions passed down through generations. Each year, TileFest brings those stories to life with a two-day event featuring a marketplace of tile makers from across the country, hands-on experiences, and a look at how clay connects past and present.
This year’s theme, “Tiles of the Nation Maker,” celebrates the ordinary men and women who have shaped this nation throughout its 250 year history, and highlights the way tiles capture social, political, and cultural life across humanity, throughout human history and today. Visitors will meet artists from Alaska to Florida, California to Maine, browse and purchase unique ceramic tiles, and experience the processes that bring clay to life.
Tile Heritage Foundation has been a cheerleader of this event since its beginning. We support and sponsor the TileFest and honor the tile makers. Not everyone can attend in person — but through THF, tile makers from across the country can be represented there this year!
Each spring we ask tile artisans for assistance as a stakeholder in tile traditions by supporting THF with one or two distinctive tiles that will be displayed and sold at TileFest. Tiles can be donated 100% to THF or artisans may elect to receive back 40% of the selling price. Proceeds support Tile Heritage Foundation, now in our 39th year as the keeper of tile traditions in America.
To participate, please follow the directions on our TILE DONATION FORM.
THANK YOU!
