Explore the many facets of mosaic art in this “open studio” class. Each student works on a project of their choosing, and instructor provides individual coaching as needed. Although previous experience in mosaics is helpful, it's not required, so beginners are welcome! Everyone should bring a "substrate" or base to work on, such as a tray, picture frame, plaque, etc. The Studio has basic materials such as stained glass scraps, glass and ceramic tile, and china, but if you want to work with something special, or your project will require a lot of one color of glass, for instance, plan on supplying that. Every week there will be a brief presentation of images of work by other mosaic artists to keep you inspired. If you have your own tools, you may wish to bring them. For beginners, the first class will include a thorough demonstration of mosaic tools and techniques, plus a supply list, including where to find supplies.
