Bucks County’s famed Moravian Pottery and Tile Works will be operated by a nonprofit organization, removing the financial burden from taxpayers.
At their Wednesday meeting, the Bucks County Commissioners approved a 30-year license, management, and services agreement with the new group, TileWorks of Bucks County, which will be led by well-known ceramic artist Katia McGuirk, who previously worked at the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works.
The TileWorks of Bucks County nonprofit is run by a board featuring those with knowledge of ceramics, management, county government, and the law. Bucks County Controller Neale Dougherty will be on the board.
