Clay Expectations in Oakland

Art Deco tile facade of the I. Magnin Building, Downtown Oakland.
“Clay Expectations” 
is being presented by the Tile Heritage Foundation as a fund-raising event featuring the work of tile artists and artisans in support of the Foundation’s archival and cataloging programs now underway.

Contemporary tile and mosaic artists will show and sell their wares side by side with historic tile dealers; scholars will present both lectures and tours, and both clay and mosaic workshops will be available.

This unique one-day even is being presented for the first time in a tile-clad historic setting ideally suited to the occasion.
