This workshop is for artists who want to explore a variety of mosaic techniques to create a representational landscape using different traditional materials, including glass, stone, shells, and metal. Beginning with a short presentation and exercises to illustrate general principles, the discussion will cover perspective, foreground and background, light sources, highlights, and shadows. Using imagination, students will create a finished three-dimensional mosaic. The beauty of this workshop is the opportunity to surround yourself with and experiment with a variety of tesserae to complete your mosaic. The workshop emphasizes hands-on exploration of mosaic techniques, allowing artists to discover different textures, color combinations, and ways to transition between and create relationships among mixed materials. Throughout the workshop, individual attention and tips will be provided to help with the technical aspects of mosaics and guide the successful completion of each project.
