Mosaic 101

Mosaic 101

Copper Cat Studio owner Katie Packham teaches this Intro to the Glue and Grout Method of Mosaic. She gives a very detailed lecture on the basics of design, assembly, materials & grouting. All materials are included and feature tesserae from Katie's personal collection -glass tile, metal tiles, rocks, glass gems, shells, marble, stone, ceramic tile, stained glass, handmade tiles and many other finds from around the country and world. Feel free to bring in pieces to add. Students have the option of returning to the studio at a later date for a private grouting session (included in class fee) or taking dry grout home to complete the project. If you think you may want to continue on with mosaics, this is the class that you want to take! This is a 5 hour workshop with a 45 minute lecture and six page handout. Students will pick a substrate from a wide variety of plaque size that they can either complete in class or finish at home based on the level of detail they would like to incorporate. If you would like a shorter class where you can just jump in with a minimal lecture and complete within 3 hours, we have several offerings this month including Mosaic Shapes Studio and Mosaic Garden Stone. This class is limited to ten students and pre-registration is required. It is appropriate for ages 14+
