The Canvas’s Tiles and Fire event brings in 135 participants
The Canvas is decorating its building downtown with a new community art mural made of handmade clay tiles. The final mural will be 8-feet by 12-feet, and consist of hundreds of 6-inch square tiles. After months of planning, 135 people gathered at Sandy Beach throughout the afternoon on Saturday and began decorating and firing the tiles.
Among hotdogs, music and s’mores, participants worked to give their tile its own personal touch.
The mural is planned to go up in the spring.
Tiles and Fire is about community art, access and collaboration
The Canvas’s Brandon Howard and Kathryn Kell were on A Juneau Afternoon on Thursday with host Shona Strauser and spoke about the Tiles and Fire community art project.
Interview highlight
“You put whatever you want on the tile and you don’t really have complete control of what comes out. What comes out is heavily influenced by what Kathryn does and what I do, and by what the fire does. What comes out is a real collaborative unit.” –Brandon Howard
