Mosaics Workshop

Registration Deadline: August 30

Taught by Fabio Pizzol

This workshop will introduce and teach student the basic technique, tools and materials involved in creating a mosaic artwork. It covers design/layout, cutting material, adhesives, substrates, and grouting. Students will be introduced to the direct method with a variety of materials and encouraged to experiment with color and texture to discover the possibilities of mosaic.

The theme and design maquette will be provided by the instructor. Your own design ideas are welcome, but please anticipate some adjustments contingent on time frame, difficulty, and your ability. After choosing their design, students will cut and prepare the tesserae, learn how to interpret the design and then create a 16x16 inch mosaic to take home at the end of this one-week workshop.

This week-long workshop's studio time lasts five consecutive days and begins Sunday night at 5:30 pm with a dinner for students and instructors. Dinner is followed by a workshop introduction and conference which ends at 9:30 pm. Hands-on instruction begins early Monday morning. The entire workshop ends Friday at noon.
