Working with terrazzo
Cobar Shire Library Adult Craft participants Jenny Ilett (Library staff member Bek Donaldson), Jill Weaving, Joan Maiden and Julianne Foster drying off their terrazzo trays on Saturday at the Library. Participants were shown how to make a terazzo tray using a moulding process where they made their own terazzo colour chips and then set them in a jesmonite mould. When dry, the crafters were then going to sand their trays back to reveal their unique, beautiful patterns.
