In July 2024, my first workshop for over-80s took place in my parents’ retirement home.
7 residents of Lepsiusstr 4 in Naumburg/Saale embarked on the adventure.
One of the residents brought her granddaughter along.
The communal room of the Nofretete shared apartment was the perfect place to sit around a table and get to know each other while working. There was great enthusiasm for the glittering, colorful mosaic tiles when everyone appeared in the room.
It quickly became clear that not all hands could handle the mosaic tongs.
The broken mosaic stones collected from previous workshops came in very handy, so that even participants with disabilities could work independently. Overall, the atmosphere was concentrated and cheerful at the same time.
Everyone was proud to be able to take their own mosaic back to their rooms after the two days. I was amazed to discover the creative talents of my parents.
What a great discovery after more than 50 years!
