Students will use glass mosaic tiles learning about the different tesserae (tiles) available
and how to cut them. The various Andamentos (different ways of laying down the tiles)
will enable you to express different styles or emotions in the work. For instance,
Opus Regulatum will give a very formal look where as Opus Palladianum
will give a very lighthearted look. We’ll discuss the different substraits
(different materials available to lay your glass on)
and the glues to use.
Please join us for a creative fun filled workshop. Classes open to beginner and intermediate levels of experience.
