Mosaic Project


What fun! I have joined the volunteers who are piecing together a gorgeous mosaic wall at the Ross Street Plaza. Designed by Tracey Kutschker, the project has attracted nimble fingers of all ages from our community.


Maggie and Tegan joined me this morning to piece together this portion of sky, tree and apples. The overall design (approximately 30' x 8') moves across the four Shuswap seasons.


Created in manageable sections, these sections will be positioned in place 
and mortared at the end of the project.

Tiles are smashed into small pieces and volunteers then search 
for the perfect colour and shape to fit the puzzle.


Jane and Tori piece together a tree branch and apples.


It's important to remember where the sun is positioned
in the scene and where the light will reflect 
on the apples and the tree limbs.
