Handmade tiles are still produced in a manner similar to that developed by the pottery’s founder and builder, Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930). Mercer was a major proponent of the Arts & Crafts Movement in America. He directed the work at the pottery from 1898 until his death in 1930. Its annual event, Tile Festival - a sale of both historic and contemporary tiles - is held (rain or shine) on the grounds of the National Historic Landmark Moravian Pottery and Tile Works. Quality tile artists and makers, and dealers of historic tiles from around the country gather to display a large and unique selection of ceramic art tiles.
