Installation in Takoma Park, Maryland

In collaboration with the Takoma Montessori School community, students, teachers, and families came together to design and create geometric motif tiles inspired by the school’s mission. Rooted in the principles of Montessori education—which fosters curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning—this project reflects the vibrant spirit of the school in form and color. The completed tiles are now permanently installed at the school’s entrance, offering a daily reminder of the creativity, unity, and dedication of the 20 families and 9 teachers who participated in the workshop.  Attached is a video slideshow documenting the collaborative process, from initial beginnings to the final installation, celebrating the talented collective behind this meaningful work.   “This is so lovely! Amazing how these bright flashes of love transform these buildings” -Elana Bregin

Working together is so much more fun. Problem solving is also better done in a team as there are three brains available to find solutions.

He was happy to tag along a tour of mosaics in Philli. First we visited the “Dream Garden” (see previous blog) and then went on to the “Magic Garden” of this otherwise very urban city centre full of beautiful art deco and newer buildings. https://www.phillymagicgardens.org/about-philadelphias-magic-gardens/themes/ Magic Garden is a life long project of Isaiah Zagar who used the work initially as therapy from a mental break down. The Magic Garden is a project classified under the term “ Art environment”. It’s now a foundation and we could even join a tour of this crazily busy mosaic project. What drew my attention? I am interested in grout lines (the interstices between the mosaic pieces) and how to use …
