Photo gallery - making the Culver Street mosaic

Late in November 2017, a small band of volunteers got together to start work on our third mosaic, commemorating the history of Culver Street.  Here we have some photos of the volunteers making the mosaic. We start with early days when there was much more paper than tile, followed by later sessions when several of the features were almost complete.
