waltham open studios: best of... part II: Joshua Winer




Students working on a large scale mosaic at the Eagle Hill School Cultural Center in Hardwick, MA. Executed with the help of mosaic muraling expert Joshua Winer.


The finished product. 12 feet wide and 22 feet high!

Joshua Winer is a muralist/mosaic artist/educator. His studio doubles as a classroom space for his mosaic classes. Much of Joshua's mosaic work is done in schools where he often serves as an artist-in-residence, working with both teachers and students on creating collaborative artworks in communal spaces. His studio was overflowing with mosaic materials, student work, and binders detailing the stages of his various projects. He was very interesting to talk with and clearly has a ton of experience in community arts and education. I hope to have the opportunity to pick his brain again sometime in the future.
