It’s not often we’re speechless when it comes to the artistic talent of the children in our town but this mosaic project, meticulously produced by Gaby Naptali and the children of St.George’s Primary School has left us with our mouths wide open! “What Lies Beneath” has been a journey into locality,geography and geology,encouraging children to consider how the lay of our land has changed over millions of years and how it influences our future. To date, an ACE project highlight! Spectacular work which has legacy and meaning for the children who created it. Huge thanks to Gaby - we hope future generations of school children will appreciate the work of their predecessors for years to come!🌎
