Event Overview

An introductory four hour class is for the beginner who wants to learn about basic techniques, tools and materials involved in creating Mosaic Art.

This informative class covers cutting, proper adhesives, substrates, design/layout and grouting. Unique to this class, students will utilize dishware as a source of material to incorporate into their pieces, thus, the name "picassiette" which means "broken plate"...Students will learn how to cut dishes, cups and other dishware in order to prepare the material for application onto their mosaic piece.

There are so many lovely old plates with beautiful designs and artwork that enhance any mosaic piece they create. Students are encouraged to experiment with color and texture to begin to discover the possibilities of mosaic. All materials, supplies and use of tools are provided. Come experience the endless possibilities of this beautiful art form.

There will be several options of pieces to choose from in creating your mosaic. Outdoor garden art, perhaps a stepping stone or terra cotta pot...Indoor pieces, such as a picture frame, decorative plate or bowl are also options available. Students can even bring their own piece to mosaic if there is something you would like to use. Everyone will finish and take home a completed mosaic at the end of class.
