Students provide own glass. AISG store will be open throughout the workshop
hours for your convenience and AISG will loan hand tools if student does
not already own. AISG also provides access to their scrap, no
charge, a bonus!
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.
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.
Stained glass cutting experience
required, previous mosaic experience helpful, but not required.
