The Joy of Collecting
Ah, the lifelong pursuit of treasures...do you ever wonder what drives us to collect? The answer may be in the joy it brings. Collecting is an itch that must be scratched. It stimulates our brains, releasing endorphins that instill feelings of safety and comfort. Collecting takes us to a world of enjoyment and contentment. And let's not deny the thrill of watching our collections grow in monetary value, a fact to which our founders (who are lifelong collectors) can attest. But above all, we collect because we have a love for exquisite objects that reflect our unique personalities. The reasons for collecting vary, but in the end, we do it for the sheer joy it brings. It is with great pride we bring you Knowa Tiles. Enjoy!
Introducing Art Tiles
Knowa has created a new line of collectibles we call art tiles. Tiles are like trading cards except they aren't made of cardboard. Instead, they are made of steel, wood, glass, aluminum, titanium, copper, silver, even gold. They are often mixed media, combining materials to create amazing miniature works of art. They are sometimes hand-painted or enameled. They often feature detailed metal craft. Some are works of marquetry art. They are hand-made in our studio near Nashville, Tennessee and by artists from around the world who are into "tiling." They are truly something new. All are rare — limited editions or one-of-a-kind signed and numbered by the artist. They are never mass-produced.
Tiles measure 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches (64 x 90 mm) and are framed in our exclusive tamper-proof acrylic holders.
Making, collecting, and trading art tiles is kind of cool. We hope you will join us.
