Glass Mosaic Workshop for BeginnersDate to be confirmed
This workshop is delivered in series of three classes, either Saturday afternoons (1:00pm to 4:00pm) or on weeknights (7:00pm to 10:00pm) Location: Toronto, Ontario
This is a beginner’s course in which you will learn how to make a 12”x12” glass mosaic art piece using tumbled glass and mirrors. What is tumbled glass? Tumbled glass is glass that has been broken into small pieces and polished in a tumbler. The object of this tumbling is to remove the sharp edges from the glass, so that it may be handled safely. It comes in a variety of colors. In this course, no artistic or glass experience is required, just your willingness to discover this wonderful medium. The course will be kept small (maximum 6 people) and will be held in my home studio. Our house is in a residential area away from busy city life, so provides a calming, relaxing atmosphere. I offer a respectful space where you can safely explore your creative process. Is this what the artist within you is looking for? - To experience learning a new art skill in a setting that is calming and welcoming? - To be in a safe and respectful environment to explore your creative process? - To have a meaningful experience that will stay with you beyond this class? That is the experience I want you to have as well. What will we cover? The course will cover the design of your piece, glass-working safety, glass-cutting tools, glass selection, instructions on how to handle, shape, and cut glass, and gluing and grouting your art piece. You will learn all that you need to know to start making your own mosaics. What am I offering? - Three classes (over 9 hours) - A “Do-It-Yourself” kit containing 8 essential accessories to mosaic-making - Material needed to make your own 12”x12” mosaic - A course overview hand-out explaining what will be presented in this course - Follow-up support from me after the course, to help you along the way with future mosaic projects Class One: Introduction to tumbled glass and instruction on how to use the various tools, as supplied in the “do-it-yourself” kit.
