Get to Know

For 35 years Besheer Art Tile has been dedicated to the tradition of making hand painted tiles using variations of age-old techniques. We hope you enjoy our work!

Since ancient times, as early as 3000 B.C., Tile Art was an important expression of fine sense in design and decor. Over the centuries, palaces and houses alike were tradionally adorned with decorative Art Tile.

Today, Kenneth and Jacqueline Besheer are dedicated to continuing this proud tradition. After years of patient experimentation, using variations of age-old techniques, the Besheers have developed and refined this art form, and create some of the most beautiful and decorative tiles to be found anywhere.

Each tile is individually and completely handpainted using vibrant enamel glazes, then kiln fired to 2000°. At this temperature the glass enamels fuse to the surface of the clay. The rich, vivid colors produced are permanent and will never wash or fade away.

In addition to making attractive and charming wall decor, these Art Tiles serve as excellent heat-resistant trivets or hot plates. Currently featured in many museums, fine shops and galleries, and sought by collectors and decorators alike, a Gift of Besheer Art Tile(TM) will offer lasting enjoyment for years to come!
