I've been working with the students at Ithaca High School on the public art mosaic that will be installed in the "arts alley" just off the Commons in Ithaca. Students made stamps and textured cylinders to press into the raw slab so as to make their unique impression in the clay.
We also used a wide variety of found materials as tools to make our marks. Two different periods of art class collaborated on the same slab of clay. As you may remember from earlier, each slab is a portion of a panel that depicts the land masses and water in the Ithaca region.
Finally 2 young women shared the job of cutting the slab into tiles to be high fired there at IHS.
