A mosaic pirate head has become the mascot of the 2017
Festival of Glass Treasure Hunt.

| From marauder to mascot! |
“People don’t always associate glass with
mosaics”, said Diane. “Perhaps this is because the little tiles (‘tesserae’)
used to create mosaics can be of stone or marble, as well as glass. However, I
created my pirate head using glass tiles exclusively.”
The
Treasure Hunt was launched on 3 January and has attracted twenty eight business
sponsors in Curlewis, Drysdale and Portarlington.
Mosaics will be among the many forms of glass art on display
at the Festival of Glass Expo on 19 February at Christian College, Drysdale.
