TileFest 26: Tiles of the Nation Maker
MAY 16TH: 10am-5pm

Rain or shine
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 16-17, TileFest 26 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, "Tiles of the Nation Maker," celebrates the ordinary men and women who have shaped this nation throughout its 250 year history, and 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.
