Review & FAQ:
The pottery works were built and used by Henry Chapman Mercer who was the director of the enterprise from 1898 to 1930. Moravian Pottery and Tile Works is now a living, working museum. Tiles are produced using molds made from Mercer's original designs. The clay is locally sourced and is much the same consistency as that used by Mercer. During his tenure, no potters' marks were used. After his death, a mark was introduced to distinguish the reproductions of his tiles that are made at the works. Self-guided, audio tours run every half hour and visitors can purchase memorabilia on site. Workshops and apprenticeship programs develop the skills needed to keep the industry alive. Facebook
