Mosaic Art is having a resurgence in the United States and glass in many forms is playing a major role in this new wave of artistic creativity . In this workshop we will look at several of these types of glass , focusing on the traditional Italian Smalti and comparing it to the products from Mexico , China , and the United States . In addition , we will have a sampling of other materials available including some marble and stone . Each participant will produce a small sampler using traditional techniques . Next you will design a larger piece , using these materials in your own style . We will cover design transfer and realize the final work of art using the direct method . There are a limited number of hammer and hardies available for you to try as well as a collection of glass nippers for you to experiment with . I hope that you will love this process and the beautiful materials as much as I do .
