Mark your calendars next week for the final NTCA Roundtables LIVE! for the year.
On Tuesday, December 14 at 6 p.m. CST, this year-end forum will explore how the importance of artisan tile installations has been recognized throughout the industry. In “What a Year it’s Been for Tile Artisans!” Bart Bettiga, Executive Director of the NTCA will kick off a discussion with his perspective on the artisan movement and the value of artisan installations in the tile industry. TileLetter Editor Lesley Goddin will add some comments about the development of TileLetter ARTISAN magazine and its role in shining a light on artisan tile makers and installers. NTCA’s Mark Heinlein will host, and moderators will include Joshua Nordstrom, Angie Re, and Lee Callewaert. We also hope to have other tile artisans join us for the discussion who have presented their projects and perspectives at NTCA Artisan Roundtables LIVE! throughout 2021.
