Former board member and current member of the Mosaic Society of Philadelphia
Laura Lyn’s background is in textiles and ceramic design. Her first encounter with mosaics was during a grad school project - 4-foot-high teacups covered in handmade tiles. After grad school, she focused on metaphoric and figurative sculptures of functional ceramic pieces, slip-cast tableware, and open-faced molds for hand-pressed tiles. Laura Lyn describes her style as abstract and narrative. She works on custom commissions for clients using handmade ceramics, cast glass, stained glass, and tile. As a teacher, she sees herself as a guide and problem solver. She recently created a mosaic mural for the facade of Tacony LAB Community Art Center in Philadelphia, PA.
She teaches mosaic workshops at the Tacony LAB, and the Fleisher Art Memorial, in Philadelphia PA. She is also an artist in residence for art centers and schools, teaching large site-specific installations. She offers workshops for individuals or groups on mosaic murals, kiln-fired glass casting, and 3D substrate design.
