NEW PRODUCTS and Tile Works. Mandy Baker, who was head ceramist at the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works when Cleota was engaged in the research for her book, designed and produced the Award Tile. A remarkable fundraising week- end resulted for Tile Heritage due especially to the artisans who gen- erously donated tiles, platters and planters for the silent auctions and festival sale. Artisans’ contributions represent strong advocacy for Tile Heritage, and their generosity is what made the anniversary week- end a great success. About 80 people attended the 30th Anniversary Gala at the Mercer Museum, and over 700 people attended the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works Tile Festival over the two-day weekend.
