The
Friends of Marquam Nature Park, artist Lynn Takata and poet Edna Kovacs have been working very hard to collaborate with Portland families to create what should be a really amazing piece of public art at the
Marquam Nature Park shelter. We were lucky to participate by making a couple of mosaic leaves, and Jasper made a ceramic leaf for the project. Jasper's friend Patrick and his lovely mom Catherine (of
Explore Portland Nature blog) were there, so it was definitely a party! They will be holding
many more workshops at the nature park itself throughout August, making more ceramic pieces and installing mosaics. (All the workshops will be drop-in with no registration required, for ages 5 and up.) Then on September 28 there will be a big dedication party. We can't wait to see it!
