| Making the bear "cartoon" for custom tile fabrication in Bleecker Co-op's ceramic studio. |
A team of five artists -- Tristan R. Whiston, Anna Camilleri, Henry Campos, Katie Yealland, and Chantelle Gobeil -- worked on fabrication for two very exciting and labour intensive weeks in order to prepare for opening the studio to community contributors on January 29.

| The 24 piece cartoon is labeled so that nothing is lost in the collaboration between the mixed media (carpentry, wood, paint, mosaic) studio and the ceramic studio. |

| Cutting glass tile. |
 |
| After the MDF boards were sealed and cradled, the scaled grid was rendered to guide wood construction and carpentry. |
 |
| A Weldbond dilution (1 part Weldbond to 5 parts water) was used to seal and prime all wood. |
 |
| 2000+ glass gems were treated with paint and clear coat to produce custom colours. |
 |
| Building level 1. |

| Thinking about next steps. |
 |
| Planning for the integration of level 3, which is being produced in the ceramic studio under the leadership of Henry Campos. |
 |
| 400+ particle boards screws and Weldbond were used to build a stable (and non-porous) structure. |
