What is Artisan Tile?
The 1960's saw a renaissance in the creation of natural, authentic, hand-crafted pottery and ceramic design in art schools and studios around the United States. During that same period the American tile industry was focusing on perfecting the high-volume production of low cost, utilitarian materials to support the boom in residential and commercial construction.
In Sausalito. California, these widely divergent efforts met at Heath Ceramics where they sought to incorporate the materials and techniques of hand-crafted ceramics into the design and production of tiles for utilitarian application in floors, counters, showers and back-splashes. (It was at Heath Ceramics that Bob McIntyre, while still in College, first encountered artisan tile making and began his life-long love of the materials and the process.)
