About the Project

The core group of students who created this project were enrolled in the Summer STEAM Academy at West Reading Elementary Center.  Beverly Leviner, a local ceramic artist, guided students through the process of rolling the clay tiles, glazing and finally installation of the finished tiles on site just a block from the school.
