Whether you have no experience or an abundance with making mosaics, my methods will be new and challenging. As far as I know, no one in the US teaches the direct and double reverse methods that I teach. 

​

The workshop will begin with a demonstration of my direct and double reverse techniques and thought processes for creating realistic mosaics. Also, I will share how I choose and manipulate images; select glass based on patterns, value and context; and I how cut and place glass. My overarching goal is to work with each individual participant's skills and disposition to enrich their experience. We will assess your work as you progress, using your phone camera and viewing images in grayscale. You will create an 8 x 10 inches indoor wall hanging - but, not your masterpiece. 

​

Forget about grouting, grinding, digging out bad areas, breathing dust and fumes, getting sticky fingers, and andemento! Instead, concentrate on values and essential details, underpainting and layering.

​

Framing options will be discussed.

​

Tentative: 8 am - 6 pm (10 hours/day). It may be possible to end later.
