slide lecture

susan tunick

During its formative years, the American Tile Industry owed much to the venerable English Tile Tradition. The designs were influential but so were the technicians and modelers hired by American companies. Most of them were foreign born and/or trained. The lecture will review the roots of American decorative tiles and then explore some of the unique aspects of the field that developed as innovative potters and tilemakers began to find their own voices. Several of these American companies that specialized in handmade tiles will be discussed including: Batchelder, Enfield, Rookwood, Grueby and Moravian Tile Works. The focus will be on site-specific installations, showing the valuable contribution of tile to the history of design in the decorative arts and architecture.
