This mosaic course is an opportunity to engage in a visual conversation and learn to transform objects into a mosaic. The materials used will primarily be ceramic, stone, glass and found objects while helping the environment and keeping these items from going to a landfill. In this extended class you will have demonstrations and one-on-one instruction to guide you using a variety of materials, including: ceramic pottery, stone, glass and found objects.

 

Spark your creativity and get into a present state of mind through mosaics. You will learn how to use a mortar method so that there is no need to use messy grout and still achieve beautiful piece. Setting in mortar we will maximize sculptural/dimensional possibilities; building cohesive color/material palette. We will concentrate our focus on color, style, development and individual expression. Whether you have taken mosaics before or a beginner, you’ll find this a new and fun technique.

 

A materials fee of $45 will cover: the 12” x 12” flat cement base substrate, thinset, and a selection of mosaic tiles as background for your piece. All tools will be provided but you are welcome to bring in any tools you already have and prefer to work with.
