Creating & Designing Mosaics

Traditional Crafts

Kelly Dupre, Jeanne Wright

Mosaic, the ancient art of using tile and found objects to make a design, meets the 21st century. Learn mosaic techniques including ceramic and glass cutting, using adhesives, and grouting. Each student will begin with a small design and then continue on with other creative projects. Expect lively creative chaos as each student turns broken dishes, tile, colored glass and even old toys and buttons into a functional piece of art from picture frames to coffee tables, backsplashes to bird baths...and everything in between. Students who have previously taken the class are welcome to attend on a day-to-day basis, continuing to work on projects of their own and tackling more advanced projects (at $65/day).

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
