May 6th Workshop

Pamela — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:18:50 +0000

Hello To All Vic/Tas Maanz Members and others,

Due to the success of the Spontaneous Mosaic Workshop with Pamela Irving we are doing it again on the 06th of May 2012, please note: this time the Workshop will be held at the Beaumaris Art Group Studio, Reserve Road, Beaumaris, (behind the Beaumaris Library) Melways map 86 D/6 see attached Flyer for more details.

For those of you who missed this workshop when it was held on the 15th of April now is your chance to experience a very different way of mosaicing…some comments from the last workshop were….”It was the best workshop ever” and “I loved it” but everyone agreed they had never done anything quite like it before.

Word to the wise don’t bother asking anyone who attended the last workshop what they did on the day, they are all swore to secrecy so as not to spoil it for the next lot of participants…

RSVP to me at smulgold@bigpond.com by the 04th May 2012.

cheers,

Jean Smullen

Maanz Victorian Secretary

Community Mural: “Stationary Faces”, Patterson Station, Bentleigh

Launch March 4^th 2012 at 10.30 am.

Hope you can come along!

“Stationary Faces” is a 150 square metre community mosaic mural on the underpass of Patterson Railway Station, Patterson Rd, Bentleigh. The mural is made up of several hundred individual mosaic faces, which have been patch-worked together to create a beautiful and lasting mosaic mural.

The project was initiated by local artist, Pamela Irving. Pamela’s goal was to engage the community in making an artwork which would reduce graffiti recycle, unwanted tiles and beautify the dull underpass environment. In order to achieve this, she received an Arts Victoria Community Partnership Grant. Pamela also received additional funding and support from Metro, VicTrack, the Department of Transport, Bostik and Tiny Pieces mosaic tools + supplies, Chicago.

Over 750 people from the local and international community have participated in the project. Each person was encouraged to express their own creativity within the theme of ‘portraits’. The combination of all of these faces culminated in a mural that symbolizes community on a local and a global scale.

The mural has received excellent media coverage and has had a very enthusiastic response from the local and international community. The work is now part of an International “Mosaic Atlas” and Patterson Station is being visited by overseas and local artists with an interest in mosaic art.

Children from all over Melbourne delight in visiting the station in order to find their ‘face’!
