Create an 8″ x 8″ mosaic art work for indoor display, using a variety of materials such as stained glass, vitreous tiles and other beautiful glass. Have fun while you learn to cut glass and build your piece, tessera by tessera. We will touch upon design, adhesives, appropriate substrates for indoor use, etc. Learn how to grout and finish your piece.

Students are encouraged to create their own simple design, but some basic design options will be provided by the instructor. Completed pieces are grouted on the final day.
