Mosaic Portraiture & Landscapes in stained glass: 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.
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.
