The Schools: Marques, Benches, Walls - see our tile work at Briargrove Elementary, Askew, Conduit,
Roberts and Yellowstone Academy.

The "Make your Mark Program" is a creative and colorful way of raising funds for their school. The Mad Potter provides instruction and on-location assistance instructing and assisting children to paint tiles that they students and their families have purchased. The school purchases each tile from The Mad Potter for a set price that includes our visit to the school, paint, brushes, design tools for painting and glazing and firing. The organization then marks the tiles up 3-5x and sells them to students and their families and staff. It is a wonderful way to allow students and families to "Make their Mark". For years to come, those children when grown will be able to come back and show their children their artwork and handprint. It is a great display of their student's art and adds colorful backdrop to the school's playground. Askew Elementary had over 800 students participate painting over 1000 tiles over the last three years. Briargrove Elementary made thousands
of dollars on their colorful marquee.

Parks also have painted hundreds of tiles to decorate their external walls and benches, creating a beautiful and vibrant "Wall of Fame". Each patron makes their "claim to fame" by painting an individual tile that comprises one
of several huge wall murals.

Hospitals: Benches to Hallway Murals - Mad Potter tiles found at Texas Children's, Methodist, Memorial Herman,
Ronald McDonald House.

Corporate: Tables and Benches See our artwork at Emerging Leaders Downtown, Jones McClure,
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler(HFF).

Several company boards and their employees used their mural painting event for team-building sessions. The mural depicts the pillars on which the group was founded and its logo. The mural now hangs on the interior wall of their office reception area.

Another company brought in their entire company to paint tiles as a "paint outside the box" exercise. They used all of their artwork to tile their company's large conference table.

Pools, Parks and Museums: See our tile work at: Godwin Park, Bellaire Pool, Children's Museum

"Pathway of Excellence" at the Children's Museum of Houston. This program allowed families of the community to become a part of the sidewalk surrounding the museum while giving to the CM in a creative way. Pathway participants received "Tile Coupons" from the Museum upon the receipt of their donation. They then used those coupons to decorate specified sized tiles at any of the Mad Potter locations. The museum organized a day when concrete contractors came and assisted the benefactors in setting their tiles. The sidewalk mural is a perfect example of multi-generational art: seniors, teens, elementary kids and even pre-schoolers participated along side local business leaders and benefactors. The end result is a fantastic display
of public art and talent!

Non-profits: Murals and Walls - MP tile work is found at Children's Assessment Center, Depelchin, Ronald McDonald House, Sunshine Kids, I Have a Dream Foundation, Yellowstone Academy and Empty Bowls.
