This three-day mosaic workshop is designed for those seeking to improve their mosaic skills. Building upon prior experience (the SHI Intro to Mosaics class or previous experience with mosaics), the workshop will provide guided studio time for students to work on their own designs. The first morning will include a quick review from the 1-day class, and then students may choose to practice cutting different materials or go directly to their projects. The next 2.5 days will consist of guided studio time working on a 6”x6” or 5”x7” interior mosaic. Students are asked to send a photo or drawing of their planned project to the instructor by Friday, August 1st, to assure design feasibility and the availability of appropriate materials. Materials will include: mosaic smalti glass, unglazed ceramic tile, stained glass, and vitreous glass tile. Students are welcome to bring their materials (ceramics, jewelry, etc.).
