This class is for those who want to explore the basics of mosaic art by creating a small hummingbird mosaic. You will learn to:
- Use mosaic terminology and glass shaping techniques.
- Use the direct method of mosaics.
- Follow a process to create your mosaic, primarily using scrap glass.
- Apply glass tesserae to the pattern and grout the mosaic.
All tools and materials supplied. True beginners must use a pattern provided by the instructor; more confident participants can modify the pattern. And remember, the class is about learning the technique, NOT about creating a Monet!
NOTE: Mosaic art requires considerable hand strength. Aprons are highly recommended. No open shoes or open food or beverage containers…Glass can fly everywhere!
