Santa by the Sea is a holiday festival at the Westport Marina on the Washington coast. I’ll be at Stitches: 2601 Westhaven Dr. leading a mosaic project where we’ll make 3″ squares using pre-cut stained glass, but in a quilt-style. These will later become a border for a public art mural in Westport, made through grassroots fundraising, by and for this small community.
The design is based on traditional quilt blocks with a Mariner’s Compass in the center. The squares we make on Saturday, December 7, will border the compass, and twenty 12″ squares will create a larger border around the whole mural, with each one featuring a design related to Westport.
We will be scheduling more events this winter to complete this project with a goal of installing it in the spring or early summer. *There is no budget for this project and no commissioning agent. We are relying on donations and sponsorships to pay for time, materials and installation costs. There is a Go Fund Me for my community projects here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jk-community-mosaic-projects To directly support the Westport Mural, simply mention that in a note when you donate. We will also have a sponsorship program where the center panel and outside squares will be sponsored, and the donor’s name will be listed with the mural, fused onto glass.
We will also have a raffle for a stained glass mosaic Mariner’s Compass, so be sure to stop by!
