12/6/2016

Thanks to the affilation between Spitzer Art Center (located in Harrisonburg, Va) and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (located in Richmond, Va), we had the opportunity to host professional artist, Beryl Solla. Beryl spent the entire day with Crafts 1 students leading a tile mural workshop. The students started the day with a brainstorm of local imagery, drafted up a design, sketched their design onto the stairwell wall and learned each step of the tile mural process through the guidance of Beryl. The finished mural incorporates the changing leaves of fall, mountains, and the Shenandoah River.

Beryl brought a variety of colored ceramic tiles that she pre-made and students broke them into small pieces to use on the mural.
