Andru Eron
Andru Eron went to Parsons School of Design for their BFA program, in the 1980s. Like many artists in New York City, having a day job was necessary to remain in an expensive metropolis. Andru was a contractor for about 40 years, while continuing to make art in the evenings and on weekends. A close friend taught ceramics at The Crafts Students League, and it looked like there wouldn’t be enough students signing up for the next semester. It was gently suggested to Andru that he take the class. Andru had pretty much only been doing computer arts for many years, but the response to his handmade tiles was very encouraging. One evening after returning home from class, Andru went online to search artisan tiles. He discovered that there were almost no tiles being offered that were in the modernist styles that he found the most inspiring.
Andru formed NY Tilemakers LLC to leverage his backgrounds in the arts and in residential & commercial construction. The workspace is located in the neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens. NY Tilemakers added a mosaic mural division to their art tile design and fabrication business. They have been commissioned to consult, fabricate, & install numerous large-scale murals for New York City public schools and at LaGuardia Airport. NY Tilemakers is proud to say that all the tiles and mosaics that they create are made entirely in New York City, with locally-sourced clay & lead-free glazes.
Steadfast Craftmanship
Our tiles and murals are made in a state of the art facility in Long Island City, Queens, where an extensive design library provides constant stimulus. While much has changed in the ways of equipment over the years, our careful craftsmanship has steadfastly remained the same.
Dedicated Artisans
Our products are handmade by skilled artisans in small quantities. We make tiles-to-order; choose a color, choose a pattern, and we’ll put your order into production.
Our products are not your average tile — their unique handcrafted characteristics will be distinctive in your installation. Our tile is handmade (a.k.a perfectly imperfect) for over.
Inside Our Studio
