Embrace your creativity!

Brucemore is partnering with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio to bring the final piece of of the tile series to Art at Brucemore! In this unique workshop, you will receive a pre-made ceramic tile inspired by the terracotta Greek Key tiles that decorate the outside of the mansion! Paint and glaze the tile as you’d like, connecting your personal masterpiece to the historic architecture of Brucemore.

This workshop is hosted in the Brucemore Visitor Center. All instructions and materials are provided during the workshop. Following the workshop, the instructor will take the projects to the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio for firing in their kiln. Brucemore will notify participants when their creations are ready for pick-up from the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio, approximately three weeks following the class date.

Previous tiles in this series included a replica tile of the plasterwork from the Grant Wood Porch, a terracotta-inspired star tile, and a terracotta-inspired clover tile.
