It is incredible to see the amount of progress that has been made in Claire's "Dragon Dreams" workshop. With all of Summer Spree involved, the dragon mosaic mural is almost complete. Take a peek at all of the terrific hard work Claire and campers have done over the past two weeks:
[ Campers of the Magical Mornings begin the purple section ]
[ The special paste used on the pieces is called 'mastic' ]
[ Applying mastic onto the tiles so that they will hold firmly ]
[ Ammar carefully breaks more ceramic tiles to be used ]
[ Putting the pieces all together is like a big puzzle! ]
[ Teamwork ]
[ The other wing ]
[ Fantastic mastic ]
[ Almost there... ]
When it came time to mastic the dragon onto it's wall outside the CAC kitchen, rainy weather was predicted in the forecast. And it was not just a light drizzle that came through; it was rough, heavy, pouring rains. That did not hold the Teen Studio campers down, however; with the help of a tarp and some extra light, campers were able to paste their magnificent mosaic dragon onto it's new home.
[ The dragon has a raincoat ]
[ More fantastic mastic ]
[ Claire assists in patting the pieces down firmly ]
[ The tarp provides shelter from the POURING rain ]
[ Embracing the rain ]
[ Cleaning up the mastic ]
The following day, the sun was shining in time for the dragon to be grouted.
[ The group grouting ]
[ Getting the grout in every crack ]
Check back tomorrow for the revealing of the Dragon's name...and to see the finished product, of course.
