Karen Singer
MFA, Principal and Artistic Director
Karen earned a Bachelor of Arts at Pitzer College in Claremont, CA and a Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania. She did independent work in printmaking at Ecole Des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and was awarded an apprenticeship at the Moravian Pottery and Tileworks in Doylestown, PA. Though Karen’s primary medium is ceramic tile, she has also worked in a variety of media including plaster relief sculpture, etching, and carved wood. She has extensive experience in collaborative mural projects with various communities from preschool children to senior citizens. She is particularly adept at engaging the participation of people at multiple skill levels to create a work of art. This process builds a sense of community, with no compromise in the quality and beauty of the finished project.
