Vault Of Secret Dreams

In this incredible residency, participants design, build and cast a three-dimensional mosaic and cement sculpture, challenging them with math and engineering concepts. They write down their dreams, secrets and fears and place them in a vault, a secure place they create and seal with cement. The outside of the vault is beautiful mosaic that the participants design themselves. They will then calculate the amount of cement needed in cubic feet and they figure out what kind and how much mesh to use inside the sculpture. Participants estimate what the final weight of the piece will be using mathematical calculations. This unique experience creates a lasting and beautiful piece of art that will endure for decades and can be displayed inside or outside your school or venue! A completed vault can weigh several hundred pounds and may be made in any shape desired.
