A Buy-a-Brick, the Camphill Way

You’ve probably heard of buy-a-brick campaigns for big build projects. Tile Me a Story is something a little more us: a fundraiser involving our residents, our craft workshops and you, to create a permanent artwork for the community. Every penny supports our new homes.

Carving a clay tile by hand
About the artwork

Hand-Made, Piece by Piece

Each tile is a hand-formed 15cm ceramic tile, likely to have irregular edges and surfaces. The tiles will be fixed to a board, grouted and wall-mounted, and we will create a digital book connecting each tile to its artist or donor. Designs are made by carving, stamping, building up clay and using coloured slip.

Groups can book a workshop for 10 people, and smaller groups of up to 3 can join sessions during the week.
