Recycled Marble
is being utilized in the Marble Mosaic laid out for incorporation into the Passive Solar Heated, Radiant Tube Cement Slab being scheduled for pouring and creation on the next segment filming for the series.
Black marble was selected out of a large collection of pieces because of its dark reflective qualities, and ability to retain heat.
While the cement pour is occurring, sculptural forms will also be created with the excess cement.
These forms were created in earlier segments with the Artists of Santa Cruz series, showing plaster casting and creation of ceramic artwork.
The casts were painted to assist with holding their shape, and for surface prep to receive the cement.
Sand casting may also be demonstrated for a few small basins.
