Mosaic artist Jessica Gorlin-Liddell taught tile projects with the 5 & 6th
grade classes at Nebinger School in conjunction with Margo Tassi, the
school’s art teacher. The 5th grade class created a tile installation in
the school based on African Adinkra symbols. The 6th grade class recreated
(in tiles) a quilt by an obscure African American quilter. The piece is
permanently installed in a hallway at the School. The class also visited
the Mercer Museum and Henry Chapman Mercer’s home "Fonthill" in
Doylestown.
