IN PERSON: In this hands-on course, participants will make a mosaic art piece from beginning to end using the direct method. The instructor will provide a 10-inch heart-shaped wooden piece, sealed, and with a pattern. The mosaic will be made using glass tiles, beads, stones and found objects. The knowledge and skills provided are as follows: various types of mosaic substrates and how to prepare them; safety measures related to types of glue; shaping glass tesserae with a wheeled glass-cutting tool to create the design; gluing tesserae, keeping in mind the spaces for the grout and the edges of the substrate; filling negative spaces by following the movement and flow of the curves; considering dark and light grouts to enhance the appearance of the mosaic. The completed piece will look something like the image shown here. [IMAGE] | Active Skill Learning.
