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 reproductions of Tiffany Mosaic Designs. Students will be guided through the fabrication process of mosaics in the direct technique, creating beautiful interior mosaic fine-art works.

There is a separate $40 supply fee. The instructor will provide Tiffany-inspired design patterns, transfer materials, properly prepared substrates, and grout. Students provide their own glass. ATISG store will be open throughout the workshop hours for your convenience, and ATISG will loan hand tools if a student does not own. ATISG also provides no-charge access to their scrap, a bonus!

The instructor will make patterns and related images available to students 2 weeks in advance, and a detailed tool and supply list will be provided.

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.
