MOSAIC WORKSHOP February 23 & 24, 2024

The GFC is offering two Mosaic workshops by Carrie Stroppe on February 23 & 24, 2024. There will be two separate 7-8 hour Mosaic workshops from 0900-1700. Both are appropriate for beginners or seasoned artists.  There are separate fees for each workshop.  Members $175, Non-members $200 each session.  (The usual cost for these workshops is $350 each).

Workshop #1, February 23, 2024, Friday, 0900-1700

The first on workshop is described by artist as:

Creativity and precision intersect to create stunning stepping stones for your garden or walkway, in this full-day class! Whether you’d like to create a few stepping stones or a whole mosaic paver stone patio, this class will teach you how to quickly create a stepping stone using pre-formed paver stones.   We will delve into the art of mosaic making and learn tricks for cutting repetitive tile shapes to easily craft colorful, geometric patterns. We will be building on paver stones to avoid the mess of pouring cement. Two methods of working will be covered, direct to the stone and direct to mesh.

This class will provide you with the knowledge and skills to design and construct your very own mosaic stepping stone masterpiece.

Workshop #2, February 24, Saturday, 0900-1700

The second workshop is an introduction to mini Mosaics for wall installations:

Join us for an exciting all day class that explores the art of making and installing mini mosaics as street art or other wall space!  This course is designed to provide you with the fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to create stunning mosaic pieces that can be installed in public spaces.

Learn to cut free form shapes with mosaic nippers and cutting tools, placing tesserae quickly without the need to cut each one to fit. You will have the opportunity to design a signature tile and learn how to cut with the aid of a ring saw.

By the end of the class, you will have gained a solid foundation in the art of making and installing mini mosaics for wall installations.
