The first big news this month is that Tile Envy has scored a great interview with Karin Draaijer in Belgium. If you didn't get a chance to see my post featuring Karin's inspired work click here. Then check back in this Friday for her thought provoking interview.
And, for the cool news in tile land for June 2010 - there's more news from Belgium's Emery et Cie. I announced their latest wallpapers and fabrics a couple of weeks ago. Then their wonderful emissary, Aurélie, shared that they also had new tiles that were being made in Vietnam. I have dear contacts in the Vietnamese ceramic community- so this was sentimental news for me-

New Ravenna
A new tile crush at Tile Envy is the prolific mosaic studio, New Ravenna. Their stone and/or glass mosaics are elegant, well-crafted and worthy of their Italy-inspired name. Their newest collection has an Asian spin which is equal parts classic and all-the-rage.
