All Levels $115-$165 Materials and Studio Fees*
Learn time-honored and contemporary direct-method mosaic techniques to create mosaic art anywhere. Discover the power of a hammer and Hardie to transform stone, glass, ceramic, and found objects into mosaic tesserae and create compositions layered with personal, historic, and place-based meaning. You’ll end the week ready to continue your mosaic adventure in the studio or in the wild with a portable “mosaickit” customized to your creative goals.
Optional:
Participants have the option of adding a tour of The Ruins Project on the Friday preceding the workshop. This workshop is suitable for all levels.
