Brucemore is excited to partner with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio to create Take and Create Art Kits! This year’s Take and Create Art Kit is inspired by the terracotta tiles that decorate the outside of the mansion. Choose from a star tile kit or a clover tile kit and paint your own piece of Brucemore history! You can paint this from home or wherever you choose! There is a limited quantity of each tile available.

Price: $35 per kit. Each kit includes: one tile (you choose star or clover!) one paint brush, one color glaze set (includes red, blue, yellow, black, and white), one instruction sheet, and one return sheet.
