The next time you stop in to Township Hall, you will notice the addition of a large piece of art in the front entrance area. The colorful tile mural of an abstract aerial view of the Township was created through the cooperation of three area non-profit groups.

In early 2006 The Village Potters Guild was approached by Pewabic Pottery who wanted to get more involved in community projects. Joined by the Plymouth Community Arts Council, the three groups cooperatively used grant money to create the mural. The Charter Township of Plymouth welcomed the idea of a mural for the new Township Hall.

Members of The Village Potters Guild created the design which includes several historical and current landmarks and points of interest. It is truly a community project as over 420 individuals helped create tiles, including residents of the community as well as groups of scouts.

Village Potters Guild members created special landmark tiles illustrating major points of interest which were sponsored by individuals and community businesses. The mural is made from terracotta clay which was donated by Pewabic Pottery.

The completed mural includes over 500 individual tiles. The entire project was funded by grants and donations from the community.

The mural will be officially dedicated at a “Meet the Artists Reception” on Sunday, March 25, 2007, 1:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend!
