Alchemy Art Center: Tile Making for Community Mural

Make a ceramic tile for a community mural celebrating eelgrass! Alchemy Art Center is collaborating with Friends of the San Juans to create a 32-foot-long tile mural depicting eelgrass, which will ultimately be installed at the Port of Friday Harbor. Eelgrass grows in meadows just off our shorelines and is a cornerstone of the San Juan Islands' marine ecosystem. It shelters herring spawn and young salmon, and salmon feed our Souther Resident orcas. Stop by the Alchemy Art Barn on Saturdays and Sundays to make a tile and be part of our community mural! Each piece will be glazed and fired by Alchemy staff, then mounted onto the mural to create a collaborative community art installation.
