Tile Project at the Falmouth Elementary School

K-2 TILE PROJECT TO BE INSTALLED AT THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL


The decision to build a new school inspired the Falmouth Elementary School Arts Teachers to come up with a project that would excite students and create some meaningful artwork for the interior spaces of the new Elementary School . The teachers approached the Falmouth Education Foundation with a request to fund the purchase of a 6" x 6" tile for each child, ceramic glazes and some help from a local artist to undertake this big project. Each grade level has created tiles in unique ways, related in some way to classroom level studies.

Tour the Garden at the Tate Museum

Every Wednesday this summer...The wonderful tour includes seeing the colonial-style garden (a riot of roses, lavender, sweet basil, and scented geranium), and learning about Mary Tate's herb garden, used for cooking, medicine, and aromatic needs.

The Tate House was built in 1755 on a hilltop overlooking the Fore River in Portland, Maine, and the city’s once bustling mast yards. Maine was then the primary source of white pine, prized for its use as ship masts. George Tate came to Portland, along with his wife Mary, to serve as Mast Agent for the British Navy, overseeing the export of white pine to the great shipyards of England.


Tate modeled his Georgian-style home after the fashionable townhouses of London. At the time, it was exceptional for its grand size, innovative gambrel roof, and windowed third story. Though it is now dwarfed by neighboring Victorians and rambling townhouses, the house remains a relatively intact example of colonial architecture. Most extraordinary of all, the clapboards have never been painted!
