NEW! Mosaic with Photo
This new three hour class
allows students to incorporate their own photo or print imagery into unique
mosaic creations. Students are encouraged to bring in a favorite photo or
photos approx 4"x6" size that can be used in this project. Family
members, children or even pets make great subject matter. We will have a selection
of recycled clear glass tiles we call "ice cube" that allow photos
to be mounted and included into a finished mosaic project. As this class is
somewhat involved due to the various techniques demonstrated students will
be leaving class with grout provided to complete this step of the piece at
home. All materials (other than the photo) will be provided, $65- limit to
6 participants.
Intro to Mosaic

from chunks of glass, as oppsed to lines or brushstrokes. We'll discuss the

practicing how to leverage color, tonal value, and design strategies in your
own small art panel project. No prior experience necessary.

and techniques used to apply stained glass mosaic to glass substrates. No

Mixed Media Mosaic
Learn basic principles for
combining mixed media elements such that your finished creations contain tension
and interest without being chaotic. (I also call this course "Making
Art That Doesn't Look Like Stew," and credit my friend Brooks Tower for
the stew analogy.) Prior mosaic experience recommended.$65
