Mosaic Garden Art Workshop
Think you would like to try stained glass crafting or mosaic?
This class is a great introduction to both! You will learn glass cutting,grinding and glass handling techniques using my ample bins of coloured scrap to avoid the pressure of cutting large expensive sheets of glass. All techniques you need to make stained glass pieces but a little more relaxed format as the glass pieces are used in mosaic work with less precision required.
Add a little art to your garden! Make a unique feature that will add a pop of colour and interest. This 30 cm mosaic piece is mounted on a stake. The same shape can be made into a hanging piece if you don't have a spot to stand it. (reduce price $10 making hanging piece)
You will design your piece, cut and adhere the glass to a sturdy weather proof backing material which is precut and drilled and grout it so it can go outside.

Mosaic Window Art
GOG Mosaic (Glass on Glass)
This is an introduction to working with glass on glass mosaic. You will adhere glass pieces you cut or nip onto a glass base and then grout it. The piece is framed in a Alberta barn wood which is included. The frame size is 10x13 or 9x15 . Random mosaic style is encouraged as opposed to the precise technique needed for tiffany style stained glass. (This is a good class to take prior to taking copper foil stained glass) You are free to design your own piece to make it uniquely yours and you can choose from a plethora of stained glass scrap to make your window so you don't have the added pressure and expensive of full sheets of glass crumbling in your hands. All materials included.
First session is working on the mosaic. Second session is grouting which is about 1.5-2 hours. (This is a flexible day we will set up after group has finished their mosaic work) . Private studio time is available after first session to complete your mosaic if necessary to prepare it for the grouting session.

Fused Glass Garden
Create your own window sill garden and let the light create the magic. Let your fingers and mind play with all the glass elements such as ground glass and stringers. You can even have a go at bending your stems in a flame or use elements already made. Larger leaves are nipped so no glass cutting experience needed.
Your creation is then fused by me, meaning it is fired in the kiln and ready for pickup in approximately a week.
There are three format options. Please choose format when registering so the glass base can be cut and prepared for you.
