Wild Color Mosaic Pet Portrait with Erin Ward - Aug. 17 10-4 & Aug. 24 10-1
Completed 08/17/2024
Description
Create your own abstract and boldly colored glass mosaic artwork based on a photograph of your pet or animal of choice.
Students will learn the process for assembling a mosaic and how to render their image with all the nuances of color, line and shape. During the two class sessions, we will prepare the base of the piece, learn how to cut (various types of scoring knives options to try) and shape the glass, glue it and finally grout the final product. Students will complete their mosaic in the week between classes to be ready to grout week 2.
Students should choose their image early and email it to the instructor, Erin Ward ( e.draw81@gmail.com ), two weeks prior to class. The instructor may also have suggestions about the workability of your chosen subject and make recommendations based on her experience. 10” x 10” or 8” x 10” Wooden bases will be provided with an outline drawing of your pet based on the image you send.
