Met de oprichting van ECTC werd een Engelstalig bulletin gepubliceerd met daarin internationale informatie over allerlei zaken op het gebied van tegels en bouwkeramiek.

In de periode 1993 - 2013 verscheen het bulletin tweejaarlijks door en voor een breed, internationaal netwerk. In de jaren daarna is de publicatie van bulletins door gebrek aan mankracht stil komen te liggen. Vanaf augustus 2018 is de tweejaarlijkse publicatie weer hervat.

Hieronder kunt u deze bulletins inzien. Het bovenste nummer is het nummer in opbouw en bevat de meest recente informatie.

International Colloquium - "Middeleeuwse baksteenarchitectuur / Medieval brick architecture", 24-27 October 2007 in: Abdijhoeve Ten Bogaerde, Ten Bogaerdelaan 12, B-8670 Koksijde. Tel. +32 (0)58 53 39 51. Fax +32 (0)58 51 00 61. Dit e-mailadres wordt beveiligd tegen spambots. JavaScript dient ingeschakeld te zijn om het te bekijken. The former Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of the Dunes is one of the important medieval brick architecture sites in Europe. The Cistercians were one of the initiators in northern Europe to use brick as a replacement building material for stone. At the Dunes Abbey this led to a current brick collection of more than 600 different types. This colloquium looks at medieval brick architecture and forms in a broader perspective. It is organised at the end of the current restoration campaign of a major part of the ruins and want to encourage both reflection and research into medieval brick architecture and techniques in the North Sea Area.

Article LESAFFRE Odile - 'Kleur en variatie. Keramiek in de architectuur in Noord-Frankrijk en België, 1880-1940; Couleur et variété. La place de la céramique dans l’architecture en France septentrionale et en Belgique, 1880-1940', De Franse Nederlanden - 2003, nr. 28, pp. 117-137
http://www.onserfdeel.be/nl/uit_archief_detail.asp?artikel_id=269  
In het midden van de 19de eeuw kende de toepassing van keramiek in de architectuur een hoogtepunt in Noord-Frankrijk en België. Door het gebrek aan respect voor deze kunstvorm zijn hiervan op dit ogenblik nog maar weinig resten overgebleven. Odile Lesaffre toont in haar bijdrage aan hoe gedurende meer dan een halve eeuw keramiek kleur en variatie bracht in de architecturale stijlen als eclecticisme, Art nouveau en Art deco.
Au milieu du XIXe siècle, l'utilisation de la céramique en architecture connut son apogée en Belgique et dans le nord de la France. Suite au peu de respect témoigné pour cette forme artistique, nous n'en avons conservé que quelques rares exemplaires. Dans sa contribution, Odile Lesaffre montre comment la céramique apporta, pendant plus d'un demi-siècle, couleur et variation dans l'architecture et marqua des styles aussi divers que l'éclectisme, l'Art nouveau et l'Art déco.

Study day "Postwar Murals study day", Tuesday 20th November 2007, The Gallery, 70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EL, organised by the Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society. See www.tilesoc.org.uk  for the latest news on this study day and for the Booking Form.
The study day is for all those interested in the future of British mural art from the post-1945 era, when murals in a vast range of materials - tiles, mosaic, concrete, fibreglass and many more - were produced for a wide variety of locations. This was a true revival in the art of mural making. Many of these attractive but often little-known and vulnerable artworks are now threatened, and are rarely helped by the listed buildings legislation. Our comprehensive panel of speakers will show us wonderful examples of postwar mural art and discuss how best these works may be conserved. The study day will run from around 9.45am-4.30pm, and the £47 cost will include a buffet lunch. The Gallery is opposite Farringdon Station.

Exhibition "Schönheit aus dem Feuer. Fliesenkunst aus acht Jahrhunderten", 15.04 bis 16.09. 2007, in: MUSEUM HUELSMANN BIELEFELD – Angewandte Kunst & Design, Ravensberger Park 3, 33607 Bielefeld, Tel. 0521 / 51 37 67, Fax 0521 / 51 37 68. Di.-Sa. 14.00 bis 18.00 Uhr; So. 11.00 bis 18.00 Uhr. (Ausstellung des Museums für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte Dortmund).
Seltene Tonfliesen aus dem hohen Mittelalter, farbenprächtige Majolikafliesen der italienischen Renaissance sowie Fayencenfliesen mit groteskem Dekor aus dem Schloß Écouen bei Paris, ferner barocke Fliesen aus Spanien und aus den Niederlanden bis hin zu Beispielen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert belegen die außerordentliche Wertschätzung der Fliese im Bereich der vornehmen Raumkunst. Mehr als 300 kostbare Exponate geben einen Einblick in die Geschichte der europäischen Fliesenkunst vom 12. Jahrhundert bis zu den Anfängen des Jugendstils.
Die Ausstellung präsentiert die erst seit kurzem aufgearbeitete, zwischenzeitlich bereits legendär gewordene Privatsammlung des renommierten Schweizer Archäologen und Kunstwissenschaftlers Dr. Robert Forrer (1866-1947), wie sie vom Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte Dortmund im Wettstreit mit größten internationalen Museen angekauft werden konnte. Im Museum Huelsmann ist sie insgesamt auf drei Ebenen des Hauses zu sehen.
Besonders beeindrucken den heutigen Betrachter die frühen Beispiele, die aus Kirchen, Klöstern und Burgen stammen, so auch aus der Abteikirche von Cluny, dem Zisterzienserinnenkloster Marienhausen, aus Siena und Florenz und aus dem maurischen Spanien. Vielfältig und skurril sind die verwendeten Motive, unter den Darstellungen finden sich Ritter, Mönche, Fabelwesen, heraldische Tiere und rätselhafte Zeichen. Ornamente fügen sich über mehrere Fliesen hinweg zu großen Rapport- und Kreismustern zusammen. Bemerkenswert erscheinen auch die differenzierten Herstellungstechniken, die sich aus nächster Nähe am Objekt studieren lassen. http://www.museumhuelsmann.de

Exhibition "Carl Sigmund Luber, ontwerper van Jugendstilkeramiek voor Johann von Schwarz, 1896-1906", in: Nederlands Tegelmuseum, Eikenzoom 12, 6731 BH Otterlo. Tel. +31-318-591.519, Fax -592.000, 15 september - 2 december 2007. Karakteristiek voor de ontwerpen van Luber zijn de combinatie van moderne industriële technieken en ambachtelijk handwerk. De tegels werden volgens moderne methoden geperst, waarbij de lijnen van de tekening een reliëf vormen dat de kleurvlakken begrenst. De kleuren kunnen hierdoor snel en eenvoudig ingevuld worden. Toch blijkt steeds dat delen van de voorstelling, zoals de gezichten van de vrouwen, heel zorgvuldig met de hand werden uitgewerkt. Opvallend is ook de diepe glans van de glazuren, helemaal vrij van craquelé. De gebruikte grondstof, uit de eigen speksteenmijnen van de fabriek, was van een zeer zuivere kwaliteit en de gebruikte glazuren waren hierop zeer goed afgestemd. Opvallend zijn vaak ook de monturen waarin veel tegels gezet zijn.
Hierna zal de collectie te zien zijn in Galerie Handwerk, Handwerkskammer für München und Obernbayern München, 16 januari – 16 februari 2008 www.hwk-muenchen.de/galerie

De Koninklijke Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg (1883-1917) vervaardigde aardewerk en porselein dat internationaal werd bewonderd. De gloriedagen van de Haagse fabriek zijn nauw verbonden met de namen van ontwerper Colenbrander en directeur Kok. De tentoonstelling ‘Rozenburg: plateel uit Haagse kringen’ in het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag beperkt zich echter niet alleen tot hun creatieve jaren. Op de expositie en in de bijbehorende publicatie wordt een zo volledig mogelijk beeld gegeven van de fabriek die zozeer in Haagse kringen verkeerde.

Tile Museum The Can Tinturé Museum of Esplugues de Llobregat, province of Barcelona (already mentioned in Bulletin n°23) opened its doors on 7 May 2003 and is located in the old quarter, in a house built in the late 19th century. Its collection consists mainly of the Salvador Miquel collection, which was acquired in 1999 by the Esplugues Town Council, with a view to preserving it and promoting its study. The collection is made up of more than 10.000 tiles of different styles and patterns, with dates ranging from the 16th century to the 20th century. The museum also organises temporary exhibitions in several town venues and manages the premises of the old Pujol i Bausis factory, more commonly known as “La Rajoleta” (the little tile), which is located just a few metres away from the museum. This factory was an important centre of production of Modern Style ceramics, samples of which can be seen in such outstanding buildings as the Park Güell, the Casa Lleó Morera and the Casa Amatller, of Barcelona, or the Institut Pere Mata of Reus, and many buildings of Antoni Gaudi included in the UNESCO2s World Heritage List.

Bulletin Butlletí Informatiu de Ceràmica, n° 86-87, July - December 2005. ISSN 0213-1978. To a great extent dedicated to tile subjects. Articles:
1) 'De la pintura costumista flamenca als pessebres casolans de Catalunya: un recorregut per les manifestacions de l'escatologia en la imatgeria i la ceràmica' (From the popular art of the Flemish paintings to the domestic nativity scenes of Catalonia: a journey through the scatological imagery in paintings and ceramics), by Jordi Arruga, p 35-47. Images with scatological elements became frequent during the times of the Flemish painters Bosch and Breughel the Elder. Later on, some of the Dutch tiles from the beginning of the 17th century, began to show figures defecating, a fact that was continued on Catalan tiles by the end of that same century.
2) 'L'arrambador de rajoles d'aresta de la capella de San Bernabé de Zumaia, Guipúscoa' (The Arista Tile Frieze in the Saint Bernabé Chapel of Zumaya, Guipúzcoa) by Javier Carballo Berazadi, Xavier Gabarró Vall, Ismael Manterola Ispizua, p 48-60. In the year 1504 the Elorriaga family bought the privilege to build a chapel in the parish church of the town of Zumaya. That area, dedicated to Saint Bernabé, is decorated with a frieze, made of the so-called "arista" technique tiles. There are three models of tiles.

Exhibition "Het aardewerk van de pottenbakkerij Dupont te Poperinge" (The earthenware of pottery Dupont in Poperinge), 8 - 15 October 2006, in Gasthuiskapel, Gasthuisstraat 3, Poperinge. Opening hours 10h - 12h and 13h30 - 17h. Pottery Dupont was working in Poperinge from 1846 till 1975, but it was the successor of an age-long tradition of potters at the Burgemeester Bertenplein in the centre of the city. Thanks to remains from the workshop, several earthenware shapes, a catalogue dated 1895 and the production books of Louis Verelst-Dupont, it was possible to reconstruct the production of this important earthenware centre.

The company names of Ivora, Goedewaagen, Regina, Zuid-Holland and Zenith are still vivid in the memory of Gouda’s older inhabitants, while the new wave of residents scarcely seem to know of their existence or the heritage of the buildings in their street. Some small earthenware enterprises remain, but the heady days of international success have faded. Traces can still be found in Gouda’s museums, but even here literature in English about the exhibits is sadly lacking.

Art Nouveau walk in Blankenberge In Blankenberge dateren nog heel wat woningen uit de periode tussen 1890 en 1915. Binnen dit patrimonium nemen de art nouveau panden een aparte plaats in. Rond 1900 kozen verschillende plaatselijke architecten voor vernieuwing. Ze volgden het voorbeeld van Victor Horta en andere Brusselse architecten en opteerden voor de art nouveau stijl. Rekening houdend met de weersomstandigheden aan de kust werd geglazuurde baksteen het materiaal bij uitstek voor de gevelbekleding, en algauw volgde de verfraaiing van gevels en terrassen met prachtige wandtegeltableaus. Wat kwaliteit, variatie en aantal van deze tegeltableaus betreft behoort Blankenberge bij de Europese topklasse. Brochure (€ 1,50) en info: Vriendenkring Stadsgidsen-Blankenberge, p/a Descampsstraat 3, 8370 Blankenberge.

Lecture BAECK, Mario - "Belgische vloer- en wandtegels 1840-1940, neo-stijlen, art nouveau en art deco", zondag 6 augustus 2006, 14u30, in: Mercatormuseum, Zamanstraat 49 (ingang in de tuin), 9100 Sint-Niklaas. Toegang € 2,50. Inlichtingen 03/760.37.56. De Belgische vloer- en wandtegelproductie uit de 19e en 20ste eeuw - met prachtige realisaties in neostijlen, art nouveau en art deco - krijgt de laatste jaren, ook internationaal, meer en meer aandacht. Dank zij een overvloed aan kleurrijk en verrassend beeldmateriaal brengt Mario Baeck niet alleen de historische en stilistische ontwikkeling van dit prachtige materiaal tot leven, hij staat ook stil bij de sociaal-economische aspecten, de diverse technieken en concurrerende materialen en geeft ook toelichting rond behoud en zorg voor dit lang verwaarloosde deel van ons bouwkundig erfgoed. Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan diverse opvallende realisaties in Sint-Niklaas en het Waasland en aan de rol van lokale bedrijven zoals Scheerders-Van Kerchove.

Exhibition "Het aardewerk van de pottenbakkerij Dupont te Poperinge" (The earthenware of pottery Dupont in Poperinge), 8 - 15 October 2006, in Gasthuiskapel, Gasthuisstraat 3, Poperinge. Opening hours 10h - 12h and 13h30 - 17h. Pottery Dupont was working in Poperinge from 1846 till 1975, but it was the successor of an age-long tradition of potters at the Burgemeester Bertenplein in the centre of the city. Thanks to remains from the workshop, several earthenware shapes, a catalogue dated 1895 and the production books of Louis Verelst-Dupont, it was possible to reconstruct the production of this important earthenware centre.

Study-day "Het aardewerk van de pottenbakkerij Dupont te Poperinge" (The earthenware of pottery Dupont in Poperinge), Saturday, October 7, 2006 in the Town Hall of Poperinge. Information: Volkskunde West-Vlaanderen, Balstraat 46, 8000 Brugge.

Bulletin Mensen & Dingen, 2006-3 will be entirely dedicated to this exhibition.

Book DELOR, J.P. - L'industrie de la tuile et de la brique au nord de l'Yonne, 254 p., 450 ill. coul., édité par l'Association Bourguignonne de Recherches céramiques, Dijon, 2005, 22 €, à commander directement au Siège social de l'ABRC, c/o Musée archéologique, 5, rue du Dr Maret, 21000 Dijon.
C'est à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle que l'habitat rural du nord de l'Yonne utilise la terre cuite architecturale, tuiles et briques qui remplacent la couverture de chaume et les pans de bois. Cette industrie va connaître son maximum d'expansion vers 1870 pour péricliter avec le conflit de 1914-1918. Trois enquêtes menées dans le Senonais, au sud de la forêt d'Othe et dans l'Aillantais permettent d'apprécier divers aspects de cette activité : l'évolution de la production, la diffusion locale et sur la région parisienne, l'aspect architectural des constructions nouvelles, l'endogamie des tuiliers…

The provenanced material comes from 118 different sites.

Book VAN LEMMEN, Hans - Delftware tiles. Shire Publications Ltd, Shire Album 179, March 2005, 48pp, 97 colour ills. ISBN 0 7478 0611 X. Italian potters brought the art of making tin-glazed tiles to the Low Counties in the early 16th century. Native potters copied the technique and in the 17th century they began to manufacture the distinctive blue and white Dutch tiles. Huge quantities were produced during the 17th and 18th centuries, first in the Netherlands and later in Britain. Because the best tiles and other tin-glazed pottery came from Delft, the name of that town became associated with this ware. This book traces the history of delftware tiles, describes how they were made and explains the differences between Dutch and English delftware tiles.

L'engouement pour ce type de décor fut tel qu'il fut utilisé pour les plates tombes, particulièrement en Normandie qui, avec l'Angleterre, était une terre de production des pavages. Les décors céramiques, important domaine du répertoire gothique, se sont bien entendu inspirés des styles déjà existants comme ceux des manuscrits.
