Clay quilt and clay panels

These mosaic panels are composed of texture-rich handmade clay tiles. Many of them were created by the patrons of the center under the guidance of Helen Helwig and her apprentice Deborah Landry. The vibrant glazes and glass create a reflective surface allowing the natural sunlight to change the colors subtly throughout the day. Inspired by the architecture of the building and the stained glass of Frank Lloyd Wright, the geometric patterned panels conform harmoniously to the environment around them. The colorful tiles invite close inspection from their viewers enlivening the entrance lobby, the walking path around the center, and multipurpose room.
