Glass Mosaics
Mosaic art is enjoying a resurgence in the United States — and glass, in its many forms, is
playing a major role in this new wave of artistic creativity. In this workshop, you will look at
several types of glass, focusing on the traditional Italian smalti and comparing it to products from Mexico, China, and the United States. In addition, a sampling of other mosaic
materials is available, including marble and stone.
WORKSHOP
Glass Mosaics
with Carol Stirton-Broad
July 31–Aug 3 — $525
You will initially produce a small sampler using
traditional techniques. Next, you will design a larger
piece, using these materials in your own style. Finally,
you will learn design transfer and create your final work
of art using the direct method. You will be encouraged
to experiment with a variety of tools including hammers,
hardies, and glass nippers.
