Great to hear the story behind the “fixers” this time – so often overlooked when reporting on the addition of a new public art piece. Bravi to both Walter and Tessa!

Tessa and the workshop are also the impetus behind the fabulous Shepherdess Walk murals and pavements. I love that you included some background on Walter Bernadin, the master mosaic fixer. It’s is a very important job, and they are the unsung heroes of the mosaic world. Thanks for a great article and photos!
