Shute Park Mosaic Paver Project / by Lynn Adamo

On February 1 we held the first public workshop day to begin fabrication of 15 pavers for the entrance plaza of the newly renovated Shute Park branch library in Hillsboro. Many people participated and everyone had a lot of fun doing mosaic! The second Saturday workshops were cancelled because of snow! The record snowstorm closed just about everything the weekend of February 8th, including the library. I rescheduled two other opportunities this week, on Wednesday and Friday. Our final day is Saturday, and there is a full slate of volunteers signed up to help out.

This project was funded by a grant from Regional Arts and Culture Council, The Friends of the Hillsboro Library and the City of Hillsboro. funder logos
