California Tiles: Arts & Crafts Principles Revive the Golden Era

Tile expert and collector Riley Doty was a major contributor to the book California Tile: The Golden Era 1910–1940 (Schiffer, 2004). In this lecture, Riley and fellow historian Joe Taylor will argue that a second golden era is currently underway. The lecture will be illustrated by images of significant installations from the Middle Ages to the present and a selection of contemporary and historic art tiles. Part of an ongoing Arts & Crafts lecture series at the Hillside Club.
