Mosaics 3A-Tapestry Method-Beginner PLUS (MAR 10 and 17, 2023)
FRIDAYS, MAR 10 (Part 1, 9am - noon) and MAR 17 (Part 2, 9am - noon).
Do you have interesting 'bling' that would look great in a mosaic, but it's too intricate or delicate to withstand grouting?
In this class, you create a small tapestry-style mosaic wall hanging, applying fringe (optional) and 'bling' with regular thinset.
You learn how to:
- Create a pattern from your materials
- Use and color pre-mixed thin set
- Use palette knives and thin set to embed different shapes of tesserae
STUDENTS BRING: Your own bling (about 2-4 cups or baggies) like broken jewelry, gems, chains, anything metal (belt buckles, buttons, watch parts, small gears, etc.), and beads, colored glass, etc., but no plastic.
This class is suitable for beginner students, beginners that want more practice, mosaic artists that want to try a new technique, or for creative types that just want to hang out with cool people. Registration fee includes instruction, use of tools, a substrate, and adhesives. The instructor will send a reminder email in the week before class.
Two sessions; total class time 5+ hours.
