Digital Ceramic Tile Design Service: Introduced by Neshan This is a unique service given to our clients whereby any image or sample (such as textile, wallpaper, another tile etc) provided to us is duplicated on ceramic tile. This process is true ceramic decoration with actual permanent ceramic colors fired to a temperature of 900C( ) in a ceramic kiln. Unlike all other processes available in the market ,such as sublimation printing etc, the colors are permanent and will never fade or scratch away under any condition. As they say the sky is the limit with what can be done with this system in terms of design capabilities, huge murals etc. Please consult with us for further information and pricing. |

My mother Marie Balian has contributed hugely to the artistic character of the Balian Armenian Ceramics of Jerusalem. A graduate of the Beux Art institute of Lyon, France . Her unique talent and free style of ceramic tile decoration has been written about in many publications . She has also been involved with the Armenian Ceramics of Jerusalem in various exhibitions throughout the world, including The Smithsonian Museum .Washington, D.C.
Graduate of Ohio University Athens Ohio and Hocking College, Nelsonville Ohio in both Mechanical and Ceramic Engineering. Have tried to be second to none in terms of artistic and technical fields of ceramic design. Too busy now days to concentrate only on the artistic aspect of pottery and tile production. Humbly consider myself a tile artist and innovator of new technologies such as digital tile reproduction.
Dreams: A small tile studio by the seaside painting tiles and writing books about pottery.
Present projects : Apart from lots of custom tile projects writing a book funded by the United Nations about the unique heritage and tradition of the Balian Tiles.
Motto in Life: Treat others as you would like them to treat you. Try to enjoy every single minute of this very short life of ours.
Dislikes: Nationalism & Patriotism .People who think they or their country are superior to others.
