On Friday, we had fun completing the final step of the mosaic making process which is grouting. We reflected on our Agora week experience and the joys and challenges of this artistic medium. The Mosaics group is very excited to share the “Create” mosaic with the rest of the school community when it is installed at St. Ben’s.
We were also very fortunate to be able to sit in on a mosaics workshop with Maestro Verdiano Marzi who is one of the world’s most highly regarded teaching artists in the contemporary mosaic art world. Verdiano enjoyed sharing artistic insights with the St. Ben’s students and answering our questions. We communicated via an Italian interpreter but, as Verdiano lives in Paris and works at the Louvre, he was also able to speak with Marie Claire in French.
