In this workshop we will create contemporary reproductions of Tiffany Mosaic Designs. There are several contemporary stained glass manufacturers creating glass mimicking the brilliant Favrile glass developed by the Tiffany Studios, and an exceptional selection is available at Anything in Stained Glass. Students will be guided through the process of fabrication of mosaics in the direct technique, creating a beautiful interior mosaic fine-art work. Students will be introduced to the nuances of working with stained glass as a mosaic material, including cutting techniques, sourcing and preparation of materials, and fabrication methods. Mosaic or Stained glass experience is helpful but not required.

Instructor will provide Tiffany-inspired design patterns for students to choose from. Students provide their own glass and WeldBond adhesive. AISG will be open throughout the workshop hours for your convenience and can loan hand tools if a student does not already own them. AISG also provides access to their scrap at no charge, a bonus!  A separate supply of $35 is payable to the instructor at the start of class which covers the properly prepared substrate, patterns, design tool loan, and grout.

Create a stylized glass mosaic animal portrait. Working directly from photographs students learn to apply mosaic techniques in a portrait of an animal of their choosing.

 Covered in class lecture are the principles of color, tone, perspective, and cutting techniques. Special cutting and laying techniques are introduced to determine what is best suited for your animal.

This is a terrific first step to mastering the portrait in mosaics.

Students MUST submit images to the instructor at least one week IN ADVANCE (electronically). A separate $35 supply fee payable to the Instructor on the first day of the workshop includes the preparation of your animal image, properly scaled to size, other resource images, and properly prepared substrate and grout. We work approximately one square foot of mosaic.

Students provide their own glass and WeldBond adhesive. AISG will be open throughout the workshop hours for your convenience and can loan hand tools if a student does not already own them. AISG also provides access to their scrap at no charge, a bonus!

Students can expect a great deal of personal instruction and guidance and no question will go unanswered.
