Introduction to Mosaics

Adult | Registration closed 3/30/2025

This mosaic course is an opportunity to engage in a visual conversation and learn to

transform objects into a mosaic. The materials used will primarily be ceramic, stone,

glass and found objects while helping the environment and keeping these items from

going to a landfill. In this extended class you will have demonstrations and one-on-one

instruction to guide you using a variety of materials, including: ceramic pottery, stone,

glass and found objects.

Spark your creativity and get into a present state of mind through mosaics. You will

learn how to use a mortar method so that there is no need to use messy grout and still

achieve a beautiful piece. Setting in mortar we will maximize sculptural/dimensional

possibilities; building a cohesive color/material palette. We will concentrate our focus

on color, style, development and individual expression

Whether you have taken mosaics before or a beginner, you’ll find this a new and fun

technique.

Tuition includes a 10” x 10” flat cement base substrate, thinset, and a

selection of mosaic tiles as background for your piece. All tools will be provided but you

are welcome to bring in any tools you already have and prefer to work with.

  • There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.
