Learn a variety of direct mosaic techniques in this exciting, hands-on class. Mosaic is one of the oldest and most enduring art forms, dating back to 5000 BC, when mosaics were constructed out of colored pebbles. Today mosaic artists work with cut ceramic tiles or marble, ceramic dishes and glass. You may create mosaic’d table tops, boxes, containers, sculpture or stepping stones made of wood, ceramic, cement, metal or terra cotta. Produce 3-4 different projects. A list of supplies for the first class will be given upon registration.
