Types of Workshops:

Realism in Mosaic using Stained Glass: Flowers, Landscapes, Portraiture & the Human Form:  We will use traditional and non-traditional mosaic techniques to understand structure, cross-contour, highlights, color, gradation, value and  types of shadows. We will learn how to "see" things differently with artist tricks. The students will learn how to mix glass values and colors to define planes, and how to use color most effectively with artist tricks that will be taught. There will be a one hour demonstration and a life-like, 12" x 12" mosaic will begin from a photograph.  Return students may bring their own photo to render. 

Mosaics All Levels  Students will design and create their own contemporary, fine art mosaic piece.  This is a comprehensive workshop that covers materials, tools, grouts, cutting & shaping techniques, placing tiles, substrates(surfaces), adhesives, safety and terminology used in mosaics. A perfect introduction to glass mosaics! After taking this workshop, you will have the knowledge necessary to construct almost any mosaic project.  No experience necessary.

Tempered Glass Mosaics:  We will show  glittering examples of beautiful mosaic collage using "Tempered Glass". (Also known as safety glass and crash glass. ) We will complete a mosaic  using overlaying techniques, metallic papers, tissue, foils, glitter and milar and more.  Tempered glass may be used to create architectural installations as well as beautiful art. Tools and materials are included.   No experience necessary.

BYOBowling Balls! - or 3D Mosiacs 

We will create mosaic gazing balls that will last for years and are full of multicolor, high quality stained glass,

reflective glass and mirror. You'll create one-of-a-kind designs. They will attract your eye and reflect your garden. Option: Bring your own Bowling Ball to decorate and display. Or use our supplies ( not a bowling ball – but something similar) to create a work of art and a decoration for your yard, garden or to float in your pool.
