The Stadium School Youth Dreamers...

The Stadium School Youth Dreamers will hold a huge celebration May 8th because their Dream House on Carswell St. in Baltimore’s Waverly neighborhood is finally finished. The event wouldn’t be complete without a ritual participatory mosaic so that everyone can add their creativity to the opening of a youth-run youth center, many years in the making. Youth Dreamers will work with myself and community artist Sarah McCann to create mosaic signs to beautify the grounds of the Dream House.

Ceramic and mosaic SIGN for Mt. Washington Elementary School

Another in a series of collaborations with this school and its PTO, the sign will enliven the stone wall at the corner of Lochlea Road and Kelly Avenue – the site of the school’s bus stop. Students have created big ceramic letters and faces of children; Baltimore Clayworks has fired them. My studio will be the site for assembly of the mosaic. Installation before school is out!
