Tile Heritage: What’s it all about?
Tile Heritage involves more than tiles and covered surfaces; it’s an acknowledgment of something larger than ourselves, a story and a means of communication as old as mankind.
Tiles themselves represent an aspect of our cultural history, a hand print that reflects the past as well as a footprint into the future. They’re about ingenuity and technology, art and emotion. They’re about honoring humanity—our humanity—at a personal level with intimate images, at the community level with associative, often playful or commemorative depictions, and at a global level with empowering messages.
When we see tiles, we react and interpret them, acknowledge and internalize them; we later relate the messages to others, sometimes in a whisper and sometimes with a shout.
Throughout history, this is what tiles have always been about: being in harmony with the times and affecting change. It’s the joy and purpose of surfacing.
People’s power and energy are intrinsic to the finished product: from the engineers and mechanics who design the machines, the hands and spirit of everyone who touches the tile along its path to final installation, the people who observe or walk on the finished product, live surrounded by it, love it vibrating with the life force we all have contributed to along the way.
Tile Heritage Foundation protects, honors and validates Tile History! Your support makes it ALL possible!
Thank you…
