Animals in Glass Mosaic

One of our MOST popular workshops. This workshop held at Anything in Stained Glass, Frederick, MD. Tel: 301/378-2218. ATISG handles all sign ups for this workshop including wait list.

Create a stylized glass mosaic animal portrait. Working directly from photographs, students learn to apply mosaic techniques to a portrait of an animal of their choosing. The principles of color, tone, perspective, and cutting techniques are covered in class lectures. Special cutting and laying techniques are introduced to determine what is best suited for your animal. This is a terrific first step to mastering the portrait in mosaic.

Students MUST submit images to the instructor one week IN ADVANCE (electronically). A separate $45 supply fee is payable to the Instructor on the first day of the workshop and includes preparation of your animal image, properly scaled to size, other resource images, properly prepared substrate, design supplies, and grout. We work approximately one square foot of mosaic.

Included in your overall workshop fee are the use of grinders and other hand tools as needed. Also, access to ATISG scrap glass—yummy! Students are responsible for providing their own stained glass and WeldBond glue. The ATISG store will remain open during workshop hours for your convenience.

On Friday there will be a picture presentation and demonstrations that will help you determine the best cutting “style” for your animal. We work throughout the day with lots of conversation about mosaic technique. Saturday is a full working studio day filled with fun and creativity. Sunday will be spent on grouting and finishing techniques, friendly critique and Q & A. All skill levels welcome, no experience necessary.

Some mosaic or stained glass experience is helpful, but not required. Students can expect a great deal of personal instruction and guidance and no question will go unanswered.
