Join us for an evening celebrating the craft of historic faience tile found in many Whitefish  Bay homes.  Local tile artist and architectural historian, Ben Tyjeski, will discuss the major techniques and craftsmen whose tiles are found in the village, including the local Continental Faience & Tile Co., the subject of one his books.  He will also bring our attention to the many lessons shaped in clay that surround the built-environment, especially when we slow down and take notice. 

Ben Tyjeski is the author of Carl Bergmans and the Continental Faience & Tile Co. Request a copy here.
