The summer of 2010 saw an incredible evolution of the Project. With the help of a steady stream of volunteer/participants we created most of 4 sandstone trees and 180 degrees of "earth" mosaic. We are Finishing up the grouting as weather permits and gently putting the project to rest for the winter.Because our main building materials, grout and mortar, do not cure properly under 50 degrees it is tricky to schedule regular work events. If you would like to be alerted to windows of opportunity working on wintertime activities, please email us.Many, many thanks to those who participated throughout the warm months and please feel free to join us as spring 2011 approaches.We cannot make this community creation without these local business and organizations who support the Clarifier ProjectLyons Community Foundation, Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, SCFD Tier III, Loukonen Bros Stone Company, Urban Oasis Design, The Boulder County Arts Alliance, The Town of Lyons, Confluence Community Arts, Visible Joy Custom Framing, The Stone Cup Cafe and Steamboat Mountain Foods.

Creating the Earth Section Mosaic. October 2010
We are creating the mosaic portion that represents the earth. This includes hundreds of broken tile pieces and hand made dimensional tiles created during workshops with the GAP Group, Generational Active People, and open community workshops in the basement of the Lyons Community Church. The sculptural earth/stone tiles were created over a 2 year period and glazed and fired by a core group of 5 dedicated glazers and others who spent many nights in the Town of Lyons Public Works Building glazing and firing kiln loads of tiles.

Cathy strolled by the clarifier project with an out of town visitor to show off all the great work being done and behold: Monty and Kyle from Town of Lyons were using extra cement from a public works project to begin the process of filling up that hole that needed filling!!! wonderful surprise and more generous help from the Town of Lyons. A million "thank yous!"

Next Work Day, Sunday May 16, 3 - 5 pm, please sign up!
Thanks to all who participated in our April 18th Lyons Clarifier Project
Community Work Day!
The next Clarifier Work Day will be Sunday, May 16, 3-5 pm.
Location: Across the bridge from the Black Bear Hole.
A scheduled group of volunteers (age 16+) will be working on weeding the 'roof', clearing the rim 'channel',
mounding and covering the dirt. Also needed are volunteers to help remove the calcite deposits on
the surface (using a weak solution of muriatic acid. Eye, hand protection provided.)
All voluteers will be asked to sign waivers. Please bring tools, drinking water; wear work clothes (long sleeves, pants).
We're also looking for a volunteer to put a slanted roof on our (approx.) 6'x8' storage
shed, located on site, just east of the Clarifier.
The public is invited to stop by to view work in progress.
Stay tuned for our next public work day, early June; we'll
be sorting and transporting 'rip rap' sandstone pieces to the Clarifier site
for the 'trees' portion, which will be applied first.
Thanks to Kyle and the Town of Lyons for their help draining the 13,000 gallons
of water from the tank in April.
Please call Cathy Rivers for more info, 823-0970.
