Pineville, NC 28134
Level:
Beginner
& Intermediate levels
Itinerary:
Concentration
on all skills required to make a glass mosaic work such as
a vase or backsplash art piece including cutting geometric
shaped tiles from sheets of glass, patterning, working on
various substrates (glass, wood, Hardiboard), gluing, filing
and grouting. Each student will complete a project of his
or her choice of size and scope that can be completed during
the workshop schedule. I suggest glass shapes should be no
taller than 12" and flat works around 24" x 24".
Beginners will learn how to cut glass tiles but may choose
to have instructor cut tiles for project.
