Getting Started with Mosaics

Monday, May 19: 5:30-8:30 PM

There are numerous techniques in working with mosaics. Knowing how you will use your mosaic is the first step: is it for an indoor or outdoor application? In this 3-hour workshop, glass artist Mandy Sirofchuck will instruct you in some of the different applications of mosaic art as she guides you through the basics of creating an outdoor glass mosaic garden stone. Ages 14 & Up.

In this class you will learn:

• Mosaic terminology
• How to cut glass from a pattern
• How to lay out cut pieces for application to a substrate
• How to adhere and grout your design

Your finished piece will be a 12” x 12” x 2” cement garden stone. Your design can be abstract; we will have several simple patterns available for selection. If you have a particular design you’d like to try, it must fit within 11” x 11” and be in a simple outline form, like a child’s coloring book (remember, you have only 3 hours to complete the project!)

Glass, stepping stone and all materials are included.
