The inspiration of this workshop is to make a hanging piece of artwork made of tiles that will be permanently displayed at the mill, that documents the different kinds of crafts that have sustained and enhanced our community over the years. During the workshop, each participant will be making two tiles, highlighting their chosen craft. One will be left for the mill as part of the display, and the other may be taken home when finished. Each participant will draw a simple scene on paper depicting the craft they choose and then it will be transferred onto a tile by painting or carving it into the clay.
The tiles will be finished 2 weeks after the initial class. At this time they will be returned to the mill and assembled into the wall hanging. This part is not required by participants but is encouraged. They may pick up their own tiles to take home at this point. The date for assembling the wall hanging will be determined while at the tile making (first) session.) Folks will have to be flexible as to their subject matter. For example we don't want 6 tiles on quilting. We want to cover as many crafts as possible. I will have a list of possibilities on hand.
