PECO Family Jams: Picassiette

Event Description

Picassiette is a style of mosaic that uses broken dishes and ceramic, specifically stolen or scrounged plates. There are many such plates embedded in the mosaics at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. There are also many references to La Maison Picassiette, an Art Environment in Chartres, France created by Raymond Isidore and his wife Adrienne Dousset. Today, we will be making small Isidore-inspired mosaics that you can take home.   

Learn more about La Maison Picassiette and the many other Art Environments referenced in PMG during free tours of our fully mosaicked basement at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30 pm.

This month, we are offering free tickets to PMG during this program, while supplies last. Please book your free tickets here.

PECO Family Jams are PMG’s family-oriented programs, held on the second Sunday of every month between noon and 4:00 pm. Crafts and basement tours are included with regular admission to PMG. Purchase your regular admission tickets in advance.
