Fused Glass Mosaics with Depth (3-day class)
$645.00
Skill Level: All levels, Basic glass cutting skills required
Hours: 9am – 5pm
In this three-day workshop, you will create an 8”x8” double-sided fused glass mosaic with lots of depth and dimension. This class combines the techniques of mosaics with fused glass by layering and stacking the glass to produce a unique work of art. Students will be provided with a variety of patterns to choose from and shown several ways to cut glass into small tesserae or glass tiles. We will cover design considerations, the andamento or visual flow and placement of the tesserae to complement your design. On the first day, you will work on the back side of the glass mosaic which will be completed and fired during the middle of the second day. Then the front side of the layered mosaic will be created, stacked on top of the bottom layer, and fired in an 8” square dam mold. Some elements of the design will be elevated to add more dimension to the mosaic. You will have the opportunity to make a display stand out of glass to showcase your piece. This is a great class for the mosaic artist or glass fuser to take it to the next level by combining the techniques of both art forms.
