Monday Mural

 I'm linking up at Monday Mural

June 2022 - London ON

We spent a couple of days in London ON, about a two hour drive west of Toronto.

Marshall Street Wayfinding Mosaic

This mosaic is larger than was the original idea! The expansive wall simply had to be fully covered in tiles so the team got to work both making thousands of pieces by hand and gathering commercial tiles to break into pieces for infill areas. Students registered for workshops to make tiles and subsequently learn how to install them. During the sweltering days of August 2018, this mosaic was painstakingly installed and grouted over several weeks.

  2. It would take me hours to look at that mural! I loved discovering the bits and pieces that are small and say so much!

  3. It's just beautiful Jackie and a wonderful story about how the volunteers (young people!) learned so much in the creation.

  4. Sorry I am late visiting. I'm having trouble commenting on certain blogs this week. This is a fabulous mosaic. Looks like the volunteers used everything except the kitchen sink.
