The Tiffany Studios began producing mosaic artwork in the late 1870s. These mosaics were known for their deeply saturated colors and lustrous surfaces. In this workshop, we will create contemporary mosaics based on Tiffany Mosaic Designs. Students will be guided through the fabrication process for mosaics using the direct technique, creating beautiful interior mosaic artworks.

There is a separate $45 supply fee. The instructor will provide Tiffany-inspired design patterns, transfer materials, properly prepared substrates, and grout. Students must bring their own glass. The ATISG store will be open throughout the workshop hours for your convenience, and ATISG will loan hand tools if a student does not own any. ATISG also offers free access to their scrap materials, which is a bonus!

The instructor will display patterns and related images in the gallery below.

The class will begin with a historical overview of Tiffany Mosaics, using the book “The Mosaics of Louis Comfort Tiffany” by Edith Crouch as a primary resource.
Some experience with mosaics or stained glass is helpful but not required.
