Ceramic Wall "Tile" Installation

Shawna Tuttle, a monitor and clay artist at Lillstreet, celebrated the completion of her installation with an “unveiling” barbeque at her back porch, where the tile is installed this month. The invitees joked about all the carting of those huge slabs of clay on and off the shelves for the past two years. She is particularly grateful for the tutelage of Mike Skiersch, the receptiveness of the Lillstreet clan to giving lots of free advice, and the monitor team for firing and handling the pieces with care.  Two years later and voila!   

Very impressive, Shawna!  Congratulations!

Lillstreet Open House -- Saturday, August 25th, 12pm - 4pm

Come join us at the Lillstreet Fall Open House.  Spend the entire Saturday exploring all 3 levels, 24 classrooms, an artisan gift shop, and gallery! Experiment in all departments with our free workshops and demonstrations for any age. Bring along the little ones in your life as there will be plenty of kid's activities from 12-4pm. Not sure how to use the Digital SLR camera you got for your birthday last year? Learn the basics in only an hour with our Digital Arts & Photography department. After that, take home your own screen printed hankerchief. Or, make some noise and pound out frustrations while sculpting a beautiful jewelry piece in our Band Rings workshop. Take the first steps towards making your own posters or cards with our screenprint on paper workshop. In the afternoon, get your hands dirty on the pottery wheel creating your own cup or bowl or begin to master glass through beadmaking. As the day winds down, animate your afternoon with an introductory flipbook class or learn the importance of lighting for legendary portraits. Before you leave, be sure to browse our Perfect Plate exhibition and artisan gift shop for handcrafted works of art you won't find anywhere else.
