DAY 1 - IAH Install

Today is the first day of installation at IAH! We are installing hand-glazed, hand-cut mosaic on two walls and four square columns. We arrived at IAH bright and early, attended our safety orientation, unpacked crates, prepped the walls, and started putting tile on the wall.

The crates full of mosaic arrived safely and on time from Mosaika in Montreal.

We have tile on the NW wall!

Success! Fifteen more column faces to go.

Emily hard at work, dripped out in the DFG uniform: HOT PINK.

DAY 1 PROGRESS. The grid lines are drawn on top of a clear adhesive that is adhered to the hand-cut, hand-glazed ceramic mosaic tiles. This allows for easy install and ensures we are installing everything level. Tomorrow we will peel it off.

Selfie with the boys!
