Mosaic art for beginners and overcoming fear of Grouting!
June 28 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
$80.00
This is a full-day class, so bring a lunch or some snacks and something to drink. Students will create 2 mosaics. In the first half of the class, we will learn terminology, tools, history, and materials needed, and will begin constructing our mosaics using a combination of ceramic tiles and stained glass. After a short break, we will finalize both mosaics, then resume class with a discussion about the grouting process, including grout choices and colors. The instructor will share tips and tricks and will take all the mystery out of grout! Students will experiment with different colors of grout so they can see firsthand the impact grout makes on a finished mosaic.
This is a beginner-friendly class, and no experience is required. Your instructor will be expanding on the knowledge gained in this class with future intermediate classes and workshops to be announced.
If you’d like to learn the ancient art of mosaic, this class is a MUST! Students will learn all the basics that will give them confidence to go out and make their own mosaic artworks!
