Yesterday, Saturday Feb 27 was a true example of team work: during two hours 21 participants were silently (to bring out the meditative qualities that mosaic laying has) working in the sacred mosaic moments studio each on one segment of a mosaic.
Interesting how different the approach of participants was to make their segment. Some went row by row, some by color in their material box.
Over a delicious lunch cooked during the period of mosaic making by 3 participants under the instructions of snack chef Martin, the hungry mosaic makers were refueling their energies and need to talk. It was a happy buzzing lunch break after 2 hours of silence.
Coming back to the studio after lunch was full of suspense – the image wasn’t revealed to participants before – What would it be? Each participant brought their segment to the front and I temporarily mounted the 18 segments together on an Aluminium honeycomb board. This was a great moment of joy.
The suspense was immense and wild guesses entertained the process. All together a fun afternoon bringing people together creating, eating and laughing
Here are some quotes from participants:
Indeed, it was such a wonderful workshop. The joint efforts made the experience special. Music was also carefully selected that was like a breeze touching the peaceful inner self in the early spring. Thank you Gertrud for the great time! @Gertrud木乐 And thanks to Martin for the delicious lunch. J.Loh
