The Casino at NightOne of the delightful things about a trip to Catalina Island -"26 miles across the sea" - is the abundance of wonderful
tile work throughout the entire town of Avalon. On store fronts, on fountains, on sidewalks, on walls - everywhere you look. There was a
tile factory on the island in the 20's and 30's and the original pieces are now collector's items.

This first two are set in a long sweeping wall that goes from downtown out along the path to the Casino. It features dozens of tile pictures and designs. The bottom is a beautiful fountain on a restroom wall in Avalon.

Erin, I have ALWAYS loved this tile and I NEVER knew it was made on Catalina island...that fountain!!
ReplyDeleteIf we have time when you come out, we'll go to a favorite café in Boulder that has a fabulous tile fountain in the courtyard. Leave plenty of time before and after the workshop!
