Muneer Bahauddeen

Another person that I met while doing my Service Learning is named Muneer Bahauddeen. Muneer is a artist who specializes in ceramics. Muneer works with St. Charles, a Milwaukee Public School. At St. Charles he works with kids that are in detention and instead of just having them sit there, he brings his skills as an artist to the kids. He recently had each child design a symbol that represents them and put that symbol on a tile to be part of a large mosaic for the students. Muneer makes what could be a very bad experience for the kids, and turns it into something that is positive and enjoyable. I can tell that Muneer loves to share his work with people, and is very enthusiastic about encouraging others to express their creativity just like he does every day. Muneer also works with larger organizations to design artwork for buildings and memorials. Froedtert hospital recently hired Muneer to make two ceramic wall designs for their new Crane Cancer Outpatient Center. Muneer also worked on designing a memorial area called the “Wall of Heroes and Victims”, where children were honored that have died in the area over the past three years. Muneer’s work is beautiful and very creative and he offers classes on Tuesday nights to teach people how to make pottery and ceramics. Muneer Bahauddeen's phone number is (414)-241-666. He is located across the street from the Amaranth Bakery on 3329 W Lisbon Ave Milwaukee, WI.
