Last Days Before Clarifier Dedication
Hi, This is the last week before we have a ceremony at the site and thank all the people who worked on it and who helped in any way. It has been a wonderful and challenging 10 years and we want the awesome sense of collaboration to continue. It is not without difficulty that people work on projects together. In this case the perseverance has worked. We have a cool thing in our town. (more…)
MOSAIC, Clarifier Dedication & Sounds of Lyons – Celebrating Lyons III
Saturday, September 12, 2015 Come celebrate with us!
Wonderful article by the Redstone Review.
Finishing Touches
We are almost there! With the help of a core group of participants we are putting the finishing touches on the Clarifier. We still have several square feet to cover and a lot of grouting to do before the DEDICATION CEREMONY, September 12, 2015. We will be working on the project Sundays between now and then and we would love your participation. Come by between 9 – 12 on Sunday mornings to help grout, clean up the site and scrub the mosaic to get it ready for the world debut! (more…)

Clarifier Season End 2014
Thank you to all who made this season the best ever for the Clarifier Project. We were able to accomplish much and it tipped us over the edge into the “home stretch.” In 2015 we must finish the rim along the north side, “night sky,” tile the underside of the rim with mirror, clean the project and last but certainly not least, finish the path, landscaping and signage. (more…)
Summer of 2014
It has been a satisfying summer at the Clarifier Project. After the events of last fall we decided early this summer to cut back our work days to one per week. In those 24 Sundays we were able to get a lot done. Most of the work happened on the East, South and West sides of the structure as the North side has too little even ground for ladders and scaffold. (more…)
Back to Work on the Clarifier
Back to work after the flood. This season, 2014, we started a little later than usual, but start we did. We are there every Sunday, 10 – 1. The ground is uneven and rocky since the flood, so extra care is needed while working. (more…)
The Flood and the Clarifier Project
Happy New Year. I welcome a new year like never before. 2014 is the year of rebuilding, of recreating,or perhaps the word is, “reassembling” the community. Though some of us are displaced and working steadily to put our lives back, the Clarifier Project is firm and virtually untouched by the devastating flood that came through Lyons, Colorado on September, 13, 14 and 15, 2013. (more…)
Little Creatures and Stones
The Project Progresses.
We have had a full summer with lots of participation and some milestones passed. We still have much to do and hope to get more participants!!! We can get it done this year!! If we find our community participation stride. Come by on Wednesdays between 5 and 7 and on Sundays between 10 and noon. (more…)
July 17, 2013
This was a particularly good day at the Clarifier Project. Several stalwart participants showed up in the hot sun. We put up the tent and it made working much more comfortable, (that, and the plunge in the river). We are now focusing on the “sky” sections of the project. In contrast to the chipper intensity of the mosaic we are loading up the sky with unbroken tile set on a grid, of sorts. It is a good effect. (more…)
Community Work Events 2 days a week!!
The community, far and wide, is invited to participate in this monumental collaboration. Anytime during our work events participate by either putting one tile on the project or stay for 2 hours and get dirty: mix grout, mix thinset, mosaic and tile, haul water from the river and help clean up. Your participation brings the project to life!!
Sundays: 10 am – Noon
Wednesdays: 5 pm – 7 pm
Come by and visit!!
