Bucks County Tile Works contract details building issues, product sales

Set back off Route 313 in Doylestown, the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works is both a famous landmark and a leaky old building in need of repair. Ceramic artist Katia McGuirk got what she wanted Wednesday when the Bucks County commissioners authorized a license for her nonprofit to run the building s operations for the next 30 years. As a former employee there, McGuirk knows well what she is undertaking. Like a homebuyer who can see past an old house s cracks and creaks to envision the beautiful home it once was and could be again, McGuirk wants to restore the old tile works both physically and reputation wise, as she brings the tile-making process undertaken there into the 21st century while retaining its close association with the Arts & Crafts Movement its tiles helped promote 100 years ago.

Moravian Pottery & Tile Works deal: Bucks County OKs deal with artist nonprofit to run landmark

Ceramic artist Katia McGuirk won the right to run the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works for the next 30 years as the Bucks County Commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday to offer her nonprofit the contract for supervision of the famed tile factory in Doylestown. The commissioners voted for the contract without asking any questions of McGuirk, after she made a presentation showing the ceramic murals and other artistic endeavors she has created as well as lists of her board of directors and other officials involved in the new nonprofit, The Tile Works of Bucks County. Bucks County Controller Neale Dougherty will be the county representative on the board, which county Commissioner Chairwoman Diane Ellis-Marseglia described later as a smart move.
