Decorate a Tile for LOCA’s Community Mosaic
May 10 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
LOCA Arts Education invites the public to take part in a community mosaic project led by Mike Tauber. Everyone will decorate individual tiles with a choice of garden-themed subjects. Finished tiles will later be assembled to compose giant plaques to be exhibited at South Laguna Community Garden. Adults and families, aged 10 and up may participate. Beginners and all levels are invited.
Workshops are Open Studio style, and activity takes 30-minutes. The process involves picking a tile piece, and drawing on an insect, flower, fruit, or vegetable freehand or with a stencil. Glazes, in certain colors specified by Tauber, may be painted in using a brush.
After kiln firing, tiles will be mounted onto plaques in shapes of an artichoke, carrot, beet, butterfly, and strawberry. Plaques will be exhibited starting late June and the garden is open to the public.
Cost is free and advanced registration is required. Request desired time slot, and provide name and ages of all attendees by email to LOCA@LOCAarts.org
