This workshop is essential for anyone interested in creating mosaics for outside applications
and gardens. Using stained glass, we will cover how to put mosaics together for permanent outdoor use (surviving freeze/thaw).
There is so much to learn when making mosaics for outside, and the suggested projects perfectly balance creativity and
technical challenges. The projects have our workshop time frame in mind. You will learn to mix thin-set mortar and tons
for tricks to work with this all-important exterior-rated adhesive.
There are 2 project options:
Mosaic House Number or Small Wall hanging: The instructor provides the appropriate exterior-rated substrate and hanging hardware.
Mosaic Stepping Stone: This is a great project as the first exterior mosaic artwork. Students provide own stepping stone (Home Depot, Lowes)
A separate supply fee of $45 includes Wediboard with hanging system (a lightweight exterior rated substrate), 12 x 12 or 11x14, or thereabouts, thin-set mortar adhesive, and grout. If students bring their stepping stone, the fee is reduced by $5.
Students are responsible for bringing their own glass.
Last but not least, students provide their own stained glass cutting tools and mosaic wheel nipper (all
are available from AISG).
Stained glass cutting experience
required, previous mosaic experience helpful but not required.

Tiffany Inspired Mosaics

Sunday, June 2nd 10am - 12pm
$350
This is our most popular mosaic class and is offered only once per year!
The Tiffany Studios began producing mosaic artwork in the late 1870s. These mosaics were known for their deeply saturated colors and lustrous surfaces.
In this workshop, we will create contemporary reproductions of Tiffany Mosaic Designs. Students will be guided through the fabrication process of mosaics
in the direct technique, creating beautiful interior mosaic fine-art works.
There is a separate $40 supply fee. The instructor will provide Tiffany-inspired design patterns, transfer materials, properly prepared substrates, and grout.
Students provide their own glass. AISG store will be open throughout the workshop hours for your convenience, and AISG will loan hand tools if a student
does not own them. AISG also provides no-charge access to their scrap, a bonus!
The instructor will make patterns and related images available to students 2 weeks in advance, and a detailed tool and supply list will be provided.
The class will begin with a historical overview of Tiffany Mosaics using the
book The Mosaics of Louis Comfort Tiffany by Edith Crouch as a primary resource.
For a more detailed workshop description, examples of student work from past workshops, and a detailed supply list, visit

Some mosaic or stained glass experience
