Last weekend, I participated in the 12th annual Artisan Tile Northwest Handmade Tile & Art Festival. It was another inspiring showcase of tiles made in clay, glass, concrete, and stone. I was also excited to see some of the other arts and crafts that many of the exhibitors displayed. There were beautiful bowls, bird houses, ornaments, and jewelry – something for everyone.

This was the first year the festival was held at the Mt. Baker Community Club. The elegant space had high ceilings, hardwood floors, and was perfectly suited for the number of artist’s tables and visitors that turned out on a rainy weekend. A special thanks to Allison Moore Peel for organizing the show and Jaki Reed for assisting her.
