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 garden to put it 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.
Date for February 2024 to be announced or several people can book a day event together.
9-4:30 first class
7-9 pm following week for grouting (this allows time for anyone not finished mosaicing to come privately before grouting session)
Closed toed shoes required.
Workshop includes all materials including glass, use of studio tools and mounting stake with foot push.

Mosaic Window Art
GOG Mosaic (Glass on Glass)
This is an introduction to working with glass mosaic. You will adhere glass pieces you cut or nip onto a glass base and then grout it. The piece is framed in recyled Alberta barn wood which is included. The 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 and second session is designing and starting mosaic. Third session is grouting which is about 1.5-2 hours. Private studio time is possible after second session to complete mosaic to prepare for grouting.
Closed toed shoes required.
