Acrylic Mosaic Paintings - 3 Sessions (Starts APR 5, 2024)
Friday mornings (3-session class) APR 5, 12, and 19 (9 am-noon)
Feeling creative? Love color? This class is a fun variation on traditional mosaics – using acrylic paints with modeling paste adhesive and scrap art glass – to create an 9x12" representational mosaic. NO GROUTING! MINIMAL glass nipping!
True beginners can use a pattern provided by the instructor; more confident participants can modify a pattern or use their own design.
You learn to:
- Use mosaic terminology and glass shaping techniques.
- Design an acrylic glass painting, primarily using scrap glass.
- Apply glass tesserae to a pattern, using acrylic colored modeling paste with brushes and palette knives.
Registration includes instruction & handouts, use of tools, a 9x12 substrate, a selection of art glass scraps, and the adhesive.
- The instructor will send a detailed email about the class one week before it starts.
- In the first class, students will calculate how much of their own glass they may want to bring (optional) AND what colors of acrylic paints they need to bring to bring (required) to session #2 and #3.
And remember, the class is about learning the technique, NOT about creating a Monet! Learn to 'let go' of your usual creative restraints.
NOTE: No open shoes, food or beverage containers…Glass can fly everywhere!
Three (3) sessions; total class time 9 hours.
LIMITED to 7 participants. Minimum age 18.
