Carey,
Have you thought about connecting with any local clay artists who would make you tiles whenever they need to fill out a firing? A friend of ours in Oregon who was an artist did that so she would have a way to use up the ends of glazes and clay from other projects, and then she would use them to fill out her firings too. She made mosaics and liked always having a good stash of tiles ready to go for borders and fill.
You might also contact tile workers who do high end custom work, they probably end up with left over colors from custom jobs, also the recycled building supply people who have stores in Kona and Hilo might be willing to call you when they get tile in.
Good luck.
