Zina's Eggs By Clare Dohna

 There are two major tile events coming up that are highly recommended for tile buffs to attend and participate in. The Silver City Clay Festival in Silver City, New Mexico. This tile group in the South West United States have picked up the tile baton and have run with it. This is a major undertaking and the handmade tile world needs more energy to host these type of events. Read about them and contact them for more info. They need our support and interest. 

The second event the Handmade Tile Association is a sponsor of is Forrest Lesch-Middelton workshop hosted by the Northern Clay Center. This is a very intriguing workshop that we highly recommend Handmade Tile Association members to sign up for. It is very affordable and will teach you some really cool new techniques. It is part of the very successful American Pottery Festival. Read below and you can sign up for the workshop.
