The Metuchen Arts Council is currently accepting applications for Phase 4 (Final phase) of the public art project “Mud Making Madness,” the ceramic mural that will eventually cover the entire exterior of the block storage building at 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, “Spring” will be composed of irregularly shaped 12×12 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 every weekend in March and held at the Metuchen Senior Center, Center Street.
Each tile is $25 and participants can sculpt an original design for their tile. Every completed tile will become part of the permanent mural.
Registration forms are available at the Metuchen Recreation office, 500 Main St., as well as on the website home page banner at www.metuchennj.org or by calling Metuchen Recreation at 732-632-8502.
