What comes to mind when you think of Taiwan? Maybe it is the Taipei 101 Tower, night market foods such as stinky tofu, lantern festivals, or even their famous pineapple cakes. Tiles are not something that is typically on the top of that list. However, during my recent trip to Taiwan, I was struck by the beauty and intricacy of the tiles I saw throughout the island. From the ornate roof tiles of ancient temples to the colorful mosaic tiles in modern buildings, there was an endless array of patterns and textures to admire.
