Sid Dickens is an internationally renowned Canadian artist known for creating handmade 6' x 8" plaster tiles. Every tile is skillfully handmade in small batches by a team of artisans, therefore no two tiles are exactly the same. The back consists of wood (with a hole for hanging), the sentiment for that tile number, and a stamped logo. Each year, Sid Dickens introduces collections inspired by his experiences, travels, and the world around him; while also retiring numerous tiles.
For over 25 years, Sid Dickens has been creating his own moulds which are used to pour plaster. Once the plaster is dry, a team of skilled artisans use techniques such as glazing, gliding and staining, methodically applied in layers, to decorate the tile. You will notice that no two tiles are exactly the same because of this.
As one of Canada’s largest Sid Dickens retailers, Crafted Decor endeavours to stock all current tiles, as well as many BRAND NEW retired tiles for those of you that are newer to this art collection and want something from earlier years. Crafted Decor ships large and small orders all over continental North America, with each tile being inspected twice and packed by our long-time experienced shipper (my husband). If you are outside North America, feel free to send an email with the tiles you are interested in and we will get a shipping quote for you.
For Canadian or mainland USA, you can shop directly from our website (we are located in Canada) . For all other orders, we ship world wide on a regular basis. We will need an email confirmation of the tiles you would like to order PLUS full name and shipping Information, and phone number so that we can create a mock shipping label In order to provide you with a shipping quote.
