mosaic stepping stones outcomes

The mosaic stepping stone project had some wonderful outcomes - 23 individuals participated in workshops, with each session averaging a core group of 10 community members. The group included members of the Parks Childrens House Creative Network - young mothers supported by Parenting Network - and the Parks Mosaic Group - mature community members who became a self managed group after a previous City of Port Adelaide Enfield stage of the Parks Helix Project.

After 10 workshop sessions with talented mosaic artist Bridgette Minuzzo, 16 mosaic stepping stones were completed and installed into the footpath around the Parks Community centre, along Cowan and Trafford Sts, Angle Park, South Australia (see map). Each stepping stone measured 450mm x 450mm, with mosaic designs created from pieces of non-slip floor tiles using the theme of "little discoveries". The group used the theme as a starting point to share stories of experiences that would relate to the area and interesting for those using the walking trail.
