Precious Augusta

What makes an object precious? 

How do we select and define the importance of the object? 

According to archeology principals, preciousness is defined by the percentage of Gold it contains. 

The workshop at Augusta Park on March 25th was an opportunity to value and highlight what we have, today.

Gilding simple found objects, reflecting our current daily life, the landscape, and our  history, we looked at how we can value simple things in order to grow relationships with the land, with the people around us and create the future of our community.

Precious Augusta will become part of our Mini Museum collection on May 23rd.
