Wil's Mosaics

Since 2004 Wil has discovered another medium: Mosaics. It started out with recycling old plates etc. and incorporating these into works of art. Now Wil uses mostly small mosaic tiles, stained glass, paua shells from New Zealand and occasionally still some old crockery.
Lienke, our youngest daughter, was the spark for this activity. She completed already nice works: a beautiful table and a nice wall-tile at the occasion of Kirsti's and Mike's wedding.
All of Atlin dumps their old plates and shards of crockery on our doorstep!

In July 2006 Wil showed some of her creations during the Atlin Arts and Music Festival in July 2006.

The following are some examples of the trivets, vases, flowerpots, boxes, serving trays, etc., Wil completed in 2005 and had for sale during the Atlin Arts and Music Festival 2005 and the Christmas Fair in December 2005.

And these are two of the things Wil focussed on earlier in 2004: vases and trivets.

The summer of 2007 saw Wil participating in an wildly successfull Artist's Cooperative "Courthouse Gallery" .

A carver, a potter, four painters, a photographer, three jewellers, one mosaic artist, and one quilter joined forces to run the gallery on a daily basis throughout the summer.

Here are some of the products Wil had for sale over the summer and most has been sold.

The latest (December 2007) creations are in-laid table tops. This is the first one of the series Wil is working on now.. More pictures will appear as works are completed.
