NATICK CENTER COMMUNITY MOSAIC PROJECT
2012 - 2013 "As Trees Give Life to Their Branches" enhances the beauty and interest of downtown Natick. Adults and young artists from the community were involved in the design and production of these colorful tile mosaics that fit into six brick archways on the Court Street side of the Fair and Yeager Insurance building. Young children participated by submitting colorful self-portrait drawings and drawings of trees with local wildlife. Six designs emerged, drawn by Carol using elements from the children's drawings. After being enlarged, they were copied onto Wedi tile backer boards and reproduced in mosaics by the artist, with assistance from local volunteers.
Under the guidance of their teacher, the Advanced Ceramics Class at Natick High School made clay animals, birds and leaves during the winter-spring semester of 2012. More clay elements were made at yikes! Pottery Studio with the help of wonderful volunteers. Carol stamped names of the many participating children and adults onto the clay before it was bisqued, glazed and fired. With Scott the installer's expertise, the six panels are now up for all to enjoy!
Our Natick Center Mosaic Mural was featured in an FAQ page about the UPPABaby Vista stroller!
