Sherri Warner Hunter, author and mixed media artist who is known for her large-scale public commissions and community projects, will be back at TileWorks to teach a 5-day workshop using two of her favorite techniques for creating concrete forms. Students will carve foam forms to create their totem elements or finials. They will also carve concrete to create a sturdy base. Working in ‘concrete time,’ they move from one technique to the other.

Doylestown, PA – For more than a century, the tiles made at The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works have told stories—about places, people, and craft traditions passed down through generations. On May 17-18, TileFest 2025 brings those stories to life with a two-day event featuring a marketplace of tilemakers from across the country, hands-on experiences, and a look at how clay connects past and present. This year's theme, "Stories in Clay," highlights the way tiles capture social, political, and cultural life across humanity, throughout human history and today. Visitors will meet artists from Alaska to Florida, California to Maine, browse and purchase unique ceramic tiles, and experience the processes that bring clay to life.

Junior Sisk is a Traditional Bluegrass Powerhouse! He has been singing and playing his brand of bluegrass since he was a teenager in Virginia, picking with his Mother and Father on the Blue Ridge. Smoke Cloud String Band is a newly-formed band of old friends that have been picking and singing together at festivals and parties for years. They have a sense of tradition and humor in their music which makes it fun to watch and engaging to listen to.

This summer, TileWorks of Bucks County presents Camp Pathfinder, “Plus Ultra” at The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works and on the grounds of Fonthill Park. Camp Pathfinder brings to life the graphic novel series, The Pathfinders Society, written by co-authors Francesco Sedita and Prescott Seraydarian who were inspired by our founder, Henry Mercer. Like the group of curious campers in the series who work together to unlock the mysteries of a lost treasure from the past, TileWorks’ campers will hunt for treasure, collaborate on action riddles, and create their own artistic treasures through graphic storytelling and clay, both indoors and outdoors. They’ll engage with TileWorks’ talented artisans, interact with the authors of The Pathfinders’ Society, and tour Mercer’s majestic Fonthill Castle. Camp Director Amanda Gerace, TileWork's lead on Learning, Community Engagement and Visitor Experience, has eight years of experience working with children in the community through camps, art, sports, and volunteering. Please email questions about Camp Pathfinders to amanda@thetileworks.org. Registration begins February 1st, 2025 for children ages 7 to 12 Fees: $295 / TileWorks Household members & above, or $325 / non-members. The camp experience is one week: Session I July 14th to 18th, 2025 9am to 12pm Session II Aug 4th to 8th, 2025 9am to 12pm.

Registration begins February 1. Please email questions about Camp Pathfinders to amanda@thetileworks.org

Josh Daniels and Friends is the first bluegrass band to ever play at TileWorks! They hosted our first show, on the heels of the pandemic, back in July of 2021. We are super excited to have them return! Another Bluegrass at TileWorks favorite, Serene Green have played every year at TileWorks since we started. They are Pennsylvania residents but will play all over the country, bringing their original compositions mostly to fans up and down the East Coast. Bob Sutor and Borderline are a hot picking bluegrass trio from Pennsylvania. Bob has been playing banjo for almost 4 decades and can really rip it up. He plays a hard-driving style reminiscent of Earl Scruggs and J.D Crowe, and loves to bend minds with his string bending solos.

Todd Phillips, David Grier and Matt Flinner should be household names! They are 3 amazing musicians who put out a debut record back in 1999…an instrumental string band record. They have recently reformed the Trio and we are ecstatic to have them coming to TileWorks! Level Best are a fine bluegrass band. It has been said that vocals are the most important part of bluegrass, and these guys (and gals) seem to agree with that statement, as 4 of them sing like birds. Their harmonies are as captivating as the notes they play.

Create lasting memories by working with your child to create handprint plaques. Further personalize your tile with custom clay stamps. TileWorks will fire, glaze them, and have them ready for pick up in about 4 weeks. 1 plaque $45.00, 2 plaques $85.00, 3 plaques $120.00, 4 plaques $150 .
