“Overbrook Farmers Market Mosaic Project”
June 1 – October 1, 2022
Overbrook Environmental Education Center 6134 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia PA 19151 https://overbrookcenter.wixsite.com/overbrook
The Overbrook Environmental Education Center demolished an old supermarket on their property and will replace it with a farmers’ market. A fence will be installed at the entrance to the farmers’ market which will be decorated with a combination of painted and mosaic panels.
Overbrook has invited MSoP members to design and construct eight 2x2-foot mosaic for this project. The mosaic panels will be on a 2x2-foot wonder board substrate (provided to participants). Each MSoP participant will create an individual panel, using their own mosaic materials suitable for exterior projects.
An optional Zoom session for participants will be held at 7 PM on June 3, 2022 to answer any questions on the project and provide a virtual work-along.
