Mosaics 2C-Outdoor Mosaics (JAN 12 and 19, 2024 mornings)
Two sessions, Friday Jan 12 and 19, 2024, 9 am to noon.
Do you have a space or wall in your yard that screams for a mosaic?
In this advanced BEGINNER class, you will learn how to create and apply a mosaic on an outdoor surface. You learn the techniques in the classroom, (such as how to use fiberglass MESH), but you will do the work on your own outdoor surface. (using your own broken ceramics or tiles) and then apply it to a flat substrate.
You learn how to:
- Design a mosaic for the outdoors.
- Apply tesserae directly to the wall, when possible.
- Create a PORTABLE flat mosaic with mesh when necessary.
- Apply flat tesserae (tiles, glass, or broken ceramics) directly to your substrate OR transport your mesh mosaic to the substrate.
- Use the appropriate adhesive and grout.
NOTE: This is the only time I'll teach this class, so students will need to supply their own materials and tools (compound nippers). The registration fee includes instruction, handouts, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and some mesh and adhesives (for practice). Your "homework" is to create your own mosaic at home.
If you are not sure if you are advanced enough, please email the instructor before registering.
STUDENTS BRING: Your own tesserae (FLAT tiles or art glass, or FLAT broken pottery) AND a pair of compound nippers. Shortly after you register, the instructor will email you with detailed instructions on how the class will proceed, what materials & tools to buy and bring, and how to prep the materials.
Two sessions; total class time 5+ hours.
