Recycled Tile Mosaic at the Black Squirrel Gallery

My friends Cass and Bob Mayfield run McKay Bricker Gallery and Framing here in Kent. They are in the process of moving operations to a new location in a historic downtown building, which they have already put their mark on in the best possible way. They hired David Wilson, a fourth generation tile setter, to cover the floor of the entryway with leftovers from jobs he has done over the years.The path leads you from the front door to the three different inner doors.
They used a few artisan- made tiles, including some Emu Tiles. Their new place is called the Black Squirrel Gallery, so they put a Squirrel and an Acorn tile in a low traffic area.

The job isn't quite done. There are two steps between the lower and upper entry which are going to be refinished. I'll post a picture of the final product.
