Building Heritage Together: A Community Tile Project

Join us at Carrow House on Saturday 12th September for a creative day celebrating clay, community and the heritage of our historic building.

Visitors will be invited to make or paint a tile inspired by Carrow House, Norwich’s history, and the patterns, stories and textures found in heritage buildings. The tiles created during the day will be kept by the studio and used to form a collaborative piece of artwork for Carrow House to display — a lasting record of the day, made by the people who visited, forming part of the new heritage of the building.

Those who would like to keep their own tile can do so for £5 per tile.

Alongside the tile activity, there will be an exhibition of work by Mud Hub members and studio associates, showcasing the creativity coming out of the studio.

We’ll also be running mini wheel throwing taster sessions in the studio, bookable via the Mud Hub website for £10 per person. Please visit the Mud hub website to book from 3rd August onwards. These are a great chance to have a go on the pottery wheel and have a pot to take home and keep forever.

No experience is needed for the tile activity — just book in, get creative, and be part of a collaborative artwork for Carrow House.
