SUMMARY:ADULT CERAMICS WORKSHOP: Making a Mosaic Tile
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, August 22–September 5\, 1–3pm \nwith Paul Halferty\, Master Potter and Co-Owner of Lily Work Tile\, Old Lyme \n$275 (Members 10% discount); limited enrollment \nPurchase tickets here \nExplore your creative side by making a 12″ x 12″ mosaic wall tile from start to finish. Use a prepared pattern or come up with your own design. Guided by local artisan Paul Halferty\, participants will work with earthenware clay and design\, cut\, glaze\, reassemble\, and grout a unique mosaic wall tile. All three workshop sessions will be held in the Hartman Education Center at the Florence Griswold Museum. \nThroughout the three-session workshop\, Paul provides personalized support to help students feel confident as they create a one-of-a-kind mosaic piece perfect for display. Paul guides students step by step through the entire mosaic-making process. This workshop is a great way to get started working confidently with clay\, learn new techniques\, and tap into your creative potential in a relaxed\, fun\, and friendly environment. \nPaul Halferty earned an BFA in ceramics from Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia before working for the famed Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown\, PA. There he spent a decade honing his craft as mold-maker\, ceramist\, and teacher. Paul is a kindred spirit to the skilled American nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts Era craftsmen. According to Paul\, “They believed passionately in honest craftsmanship\, and the importance of creating beautiful\, well-made objects that can be used in everyday life.” Paul and his wife Esther own Lily Tile Studio in Old Lyme\, CT and produce artisan tile compositions for private homes and corporate installations. \nImage: Courtesy of Lily Tile Studio.\nThe Museum’s educational programming is supported by the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut; Connecticut Humanities; the Randolph and John Dirks Fund; the John and Kelly Hartman Foundation; the Sally Bill Children’s Education Fund; the Betty M.
