This is one of the sites I really have enjoyed, and I wanted to put it back on here. Company of Artisans is a group out of the United Kingdom who make Medieval Tiles, among other things. They do demonstrations at school, fayres, and other events. The style of tiles they make are Encaustic Tiles, like so many of the ones you will see in castles, cathedrals and manor homes. It was quite the industry between the 13th and 16th centuries.

This is one project I might look at doing for my world history classes this next year – if anyone has any experience doing this sort of thing, please leave a comment so I can get in touch with you.
