Students are guided through the complete process of creating a 2-dimensional sugar skull mosaic. Our custom made substrates will be constructed from common building materials and include hanging device. Mosaic surface will be created using stained glass, glass tiles and found objects.
This class introduces participants to the ancient art of mosaics with a specifically contemporary focus; students will create a mosaic interpretation of a master painting using stained glass. From Byzantine altar pieces to impressionist classics to pop-art paintings, the Smithsonian museums and other area collections provide a vast resource of artworks for study and interpretation.
We offer these sessions to meet the demand for independent study with Maverick Mosaics and Bonnie Fitzgerald. The day will allow you to experience the camaraderie of fellow students, the support and guidance of an instructor and an opportunity to get your specific questions answered. All students will bring their own project, appropriate tools and supplies, and we provide the guidance, expertise and quality time to help you successfully move forward.
This unique learning opportunity is for anyone interested in creating clay elements, 2 dimensional sculptures or hand built tiles for inclusion in mosaic and mixed media art works.
