Do You Want to Smash Something? A Class in Basic Mosaics, with Carrie Fradkin

This workshop is geared toward those who want to learn about basic techniques, tools and materials involved in creating mosaic art. You will make one mosaic that you can hang on the wall. The class covers cutting, proper adhesives, substrates, design/layout and grouting. Learn how to safely cut and break materials (plates, stone, tile, glass, etc.) with mosaic tools to use for your mosaic. We will discuss andamento – the flow of mosaics and learn different ways to lay tesserae in the direct technique with a PVA glue.
