Vrienden Nederlands Tegelmuseum

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.
