Jane Kozlak
Tiles By Jkozlak
Jane Kozlak has been a porcelain artist since 1976. In 1983 she was approached by a tile shop where she lives, in Connecticut, to paint some tiles for them; thus starting her tile business, Tiles by JKozlak. Jane has done tile work for the Connecticut Govenor's Mansion, Michael J. Fox, Eileen Ford and Ralph Lauren to name a few.
Jane specializes in custom design work on tile for kitchens, bathrooms, fireplace surrounds, and house number plaques. She will match wallpaper, fabric, or whatever the customer wishes to have produced on tile. If you wish to have towel bars, toilet tissue holders, lotion dispensers, and soap dishes painted to match your design, she can do that, too.
All Jane's tiles are very realistic and true to the color of the subject. By firing in a kiln, the design becomes a permanent part of the tile; this also makes the tile very durable.
Jane paints on glass and porcelain. Jane also paints on stone. Unfortunately, stone can't be fired. the stone will be painted and then sealed.
She will work directly with homeowners, interior decorators, other tile shops, architects,and home builders.

Jan 22, 2015The artisan, Jane Kozlak, paid careful attention to my desires and provide sketches and photos while the project was underway. The final product, a large custom tea mug for my wife, was just what I wanted, but better than I had imagined. It can more than 3 week ahead of my need-by-date. I would be happy and confident when ordering something else from Jane in the future.

Her attention to detail is superb. On a personal note-Thanks again Jane we love what you had put together and created for us.

May 15, 2017Jane is a true artist and expert at her craft. I asked for something unique, and she was able to produce exactly what I had in mind. This can't be a rush job, because there is a lot of test firing involved to get the colors precise. Jane also went all out to personally pick up and delivery my tiles. I highly recommend Tiles by Jkozlak, and would definitely user her again!
