BH:

My friend Dick Solon in NorthPort, Michigan imports circular tiles.
They are the popular H&R Johnson tiles (from England). He also
sells some glazed tiles, but not sure if he has glazed round ones.
Not sure if they are exactly 6" but they are pretty close to that. He
also makes wooden items for tiles - like clock bases, trays, and
so on.

I thought I'd mention that he can also cut a "groove" around the tile
with a special cutting tool he uses. This can cause some glazes to
"break" in a nice circle around the edge.

His number and address is:

HBD
862 N. Mill Street
Northport, MI 49670
(231) 256-9139

My studio is in his building, we share a light industrial CNC that I am
experimenting with.

Best of luck,


George

Hi, Brian.

You might check with Aftosa. (They have a website; it's probably
http://www.aftosa.com , but that's a guess. If the link doesn't work, do a
search for them--it won't be hard.

I know they sell bisqued tiles, but I'm not sure whether they sell round
ones. However, I think I remember seeing round tile holders, so I suspect
they also offer the corresponding tiles.
