New Mosaic

Stokey's Solar System Walk is to gain a fabulous mosaic at the start of the walk in Bonchurch. Inspired by the idea of the walk, the Bonchurch Community Association has commissioned the Ventnor School of Mosaic to produce a piece of ceramic mosaic depicting the Solar System.

The work will be based on this image from the space agency NASA, an artist's montage of the solar system. The planets are not to scale, and are depicted close together so as to show some of the features of each planet.

The project was displayed on the Mosaic School's stand at Ventnor Day on May 4th, where Jan Pargeter and Ken Knapman told me the mosaic would take several months to complete. The mosaic will be placed next on the wall to the mosaic of the Glanville Fritillary.
