This weekend workshop with Roberta Tobey Gertz will introduce you to the beautiful world of creative mosaics, and get you started (and hopefully finished) on an 8”x 12” piece of original art. On Friday night we will learn about a wide variety of materials, practice some basic techniques, and talk about inspiration, where it comes from, and “what to make”.
Saturday and Sunday, armed with the tools and tiles provided, we will create your art with plenty of personal guidance, learning the particular language of mosaics. Roberta’s style includes the use of mixed materials…glass and ceramic tile, broken china, stained glass, shells, stones and beads.
Students are encouraged to bring any materials with them, a wonderful opportunity to use that broken serving platter of your grandmothers, or your chipped favorite mug, or that pile of beach glass that you don’t know what to do with!
