The Metuchen Arts Council is currently accepting applications for Phase 3 of the public art project, “Mudmaking Madness,” the ceramic mural that will eventually cover the entire exterior of the block storage building between the Grove Avenue tennis courts.
With “The Seasons” as the theme, each side of the building will reflect life in Metuchen during that season of the year. While the overall abstract design will be developed by ceramic artist Linda Vonderschmidt-LaStella, “Winter” will be composed of irregularly shaped 12-by-12-inch clay tiles.
Anyone who wishes to get “hands in clay” can register and select one of the six two-hour learn/create sessions scheduled for each weekend in March at the Metuchen Senior Center, 15 Center St. Each tile is $25, and participants can sculpt an original design for their tile. Each completed tile will become part of the permanent mural.
Registration forms are available by calling Metuchen Recreation at 732-632-8502 or visiting the office at 500 Main St. or www.metuchennj.org.
