Pebble Mosaic: Caledonian pebbles, grey paddlestones, slate, ceramic tile inserts and Spanish white cobbles
Funded by The Foyle Foundation: I worked with children in Y6 over a period of time developing designs. With the help of volunteers; parents and friends, I worked with groups of 9 children at a time, preparing the ground and finally inserting the pebbles into a dry mix of cement and sand

Paint with ceramic mosaic details

 

Ideas were drawn up with some of the children during several storytelling and drawing sessions.
The children's ideas were then used in the mural, some exactly as the children had depicted them, others as translated by myself
