"The Garden of Life" was previously a playground that got run down over the years and glass was shattered there. We are now recycling that glass (that has been dulled by the sand) by making mosaics. This is our first finished mosaic assemblage named "Running Man." We plan to continue this project by making more mosaic "people" to add to the fence. Students ages 4-15 participated.
1. Wood was prepared with a protective glue coating and wire was laced between two holes to allow for hanging.
2. Glass was glued on reclaimed wood using abstract and nature based designs.
2. Grout was mixed and applied. When the grout began to cure after about 30 minutes, students used water and sponges to smooth out the grout.
4. Fully dried, the mosaics were assembled into the "Running Man" you see here.
