Course Overview

Rediscover ancient techniques and combine them with modern expressions and materials in a 2.25 day mosaic class. Learn mosaic techniques including ceramic and glass cutting, use of different adhesives, and grouting. Each student will design and then create a small project for the home or garden. By the end of the class you will have a finished work of art, and will have completed all the steps to feel confident to mosaic almost any project at home. Instructor provides tools and materials although students are welcome to bring any tools and tile that they might like to use. Students who have previously take the class are welcome to attend on a day-to-day basis to work on a project of their own ($65/day).
