MHA Mural Day 2

Good progress on this second day. We have one more day of tiling, then we will be ready for the dreaded job of grouting (at least for me - I HATE that job). Some of the residents of the building have been observing the work from the beginning (we call them our supervisors, and they love it). They ask questions about the mural, and tell us stories about their lives, which passes the time while we work. One lady, who is usually crocheting lap robes which she donates to local nursing homes, has a long history of working for the glass factories here in Millville. Her stories about the old days, when glass was king in South Jersey, are fascinating, and a real piece of local history. This concept is the theme of our opening this Third Friday. The show, Fading Ways, is a tribute to a disappearing way of life. I'll have pics here after the opening, which is at the Riverfron Renaissance Center for the Arts. http://www.riverfrontcenter.org/
