Mosaics with Jodi Doster
Sunday, September 20th
11 am – 2 pm
$75, $65 Members (includes materials)
Join Jodi Doster for this special workshop to create bead and tile mosaics; beginner to advanced level students welcome. Mosaic is an art form that has been around since Mesopotamia in the 3rd Millennium BC. The mosaic is an assemblage of pieces (beads or tiles for this class) to create a piece of art. Mosaics come in many forms from murals, to installations, or a wall hanging.
In this class students will use a variety of specialty and Mardi Gras beads and/or tiles to create their own piece of mosaic art. Students will create a drawing or design, choose colors that coordinate with the colors of beads and tiles available, paint a piece of foam board or cut out plywood for tile mosaics, then use adhesive to glue down their beads and weld bond for tiles.
Foam boards and cut outs will be painted using the process of mixing colors before beads are attached. Students can work from a mix of photographs, magazines, or even floral arrangements to come up with a drawing or design that will be interpreted with beads and tiles. Students will draw, paint, and mosaic to create their own one of a kind work of art.
All materials will be provided!
