Create a stylized glass mosaic animal portrait. Working directly
from photographs, students learn to apply mosaic techniques to a portrait of an
animal of their choosing. The principles of color, tone, perspective, and
cutting techniques are covered in class lectures. Special cutting and laying
techniques are introduced to determine what is best suited for your animal. This
is a terrific first step to mastering the portrait in mosaic.
Students MUST submit images to the instructor one week IN ADVANCE
(electronically). A separate $45 supply fee is payable to the
Instructor on the first day of the workshop and includes preparation of your
animal image, properly scaled to size, other resource images, properly
prepared substrate, design supplies, and grout. We
work approximately one square foot of mosaic.
Included in your overall workshop fee are the use of
grinders and other hand tools as needed. Also, access to AISG scrap glass!
Students are responsible for providing their own stained glass and WeldBond
glue. AISG will remain open during workshop hours for your convenience.
On Friday there will be a picture presentation and
demonstrations that will help you determine the best cutting “style” for
your animal. We work throughout the day with lots of conversation about
mosaic technique. Saturday is a full working studio day filled with fun and
creativity. Sunday will be spent on grouting and finishing techniques,
friendly critique and Q & A. All skill levels welcome, no experience
necessary.
Some mosaic or stained glass experience is helpful, but
not required. Students can expect a great deal of personal instruction and
guidance and no question will go unanswered. For a more detailed workshop description, examples of student work from past workshops, and a detailed supply list, visit
