Service Learning Project - Add Some Color: Mosaic The Bread Oven

Traditional Crafts

Kelly Dupre

Want to lend a helping hand to learn how to mosaic? Want to witness options for finishing your bread oven, outdoor project or mural? Here's your chance to work with Grand Marais-based artist, Kelly Dupre, designing, tiling and grouting the surface of North House's outdoor-wood-fired brick oven. Kelly will lead students through the mosaic process of preparing materials and finishing in this special two-day service learning project.
Your participation and tuition in this service learning project includes:
* overview of mosaic process - from preparation to finish
* hands-on experience preparing tiles and surfaces, mixing mortars, color selection and grouting
* lunch served daily on the North House campus for all service learning participants
A great way to spend part of your time in Grand Marais for the 2009 Fisherman's Picnic, while also contributing to an improved campus on the harbor.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
