Mosaic making with families in Washington DC

Published by gertrud

How do you bring children aged 2-4, their parents and teachers together? Let them mosaic! Two Friday afternoons in February at the Montessori Kindergarten were wonderfully lively! 25 mosaic tiles inspired by motifs from Montessori didactics are now waiting to be installed on the outside walls of the kindergarten building. My assistant Kim Ward captured beautiful moments of concentration and the joy of creating something together in her photos.

Mosaic workshop in V Street, DC

Published by gertrud

Last week Andrea, Kathy, Smruti and Mark gathered for 3 nights at MosaicMoments Studio in V Street to make their first mosaics. For them it was an endeavor: practicing breaking glass tiles, setting mosaic pieces in a very particular order and using line and color to create a simple geometric mosaic design. It was fun, it was hard, it was meditative, it made time fly … In the end happiness prevailed over achiement of self created mosaics and time well spent with like minded people.
