In celebrating Lake Bluff School’s 100th anniversary in Shorewood, Wisconsin, this book illustrates the impressive faience art tiles and their story that have been a part of the school’s heritage since it was built in 1924. Colored photographs provide generous documentation of the many tiles that Lake Bluff scholars experience every school day. Milwaukee-based historian, photographer, and faience tile artist Ben Tyjeski reveals the history of both the historic and contemporary art tiles, describing how they were made and who created them, as well the stories behind the artworks and their context in a public building designed for children.
