This is a full day class so bring a lunch or some snacks and something to drink. Students will create two mosiacs. In the first half of the class, we will learn terminology, tools, history and material needed and will begin constructing our mosaics using a combination of ceramic tiles and stained glass.
After a short break, we will finalize both mosaics, then resume class with a discussion about the grouting process including grout choices and colors.
The instructor will share tips and tricks and will take all the mystery out of grout! Students will experiment with different colors of grout so they can see first hand the impact grout makes on a finished mosaic.
This is a beginner friendly class and no experience is required. Your instructor will be expanding on the knowledge gained in this class with future intermediate classes and workshops to be announced.
If you'd like to learn the ancient art of mosaic, this class is a MUST! Students will learn all the basics that will give them confidence to go out and make their own mosaic art works!
Meet the Instructor
The majority of my work is with glass; I also work extensively with rock, pebbles, wood, copper, ceramic, broken dishes, pottery, and porcelain. I refer to myself as a mosaicist, and really, any material whatsoever can be used to create mosaic art.
I've been teaching public and private art classes for about 15 years. Educating others on technique, tricks, proper material, terminology, etc., makes me happy. I don't enjoy watching people struggle,e and if I have knowledge that can assist them, I'm happy to share it.
