\"Tours\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ceramic artist and terra cotta historian, Ben Tyjeski<\/a> will be offering tours this summer to promote and raise money for a book that he is writing about Milwaukee’s Terra Cotta golden age. He knows the subject well and is an accomplished artist with the medium as can be seen by looking at his portfolio<\/a>. His knowledge of the architectural uses and history in Milwaukee is second to none.
