Picassiette (or pique assiette) is a fun type of mosaic using broken dishes and other found objects. In this 5-day workshop students will make a simple mask shaped substrate (base), create tesserae (shards) from ceramics, adhere them using thinset mortar and grout to complete the project. A large supply of broken crockery is available. Students are also welcome to bring materials from home (to be discussed on the first day of class). Class will have a 1-hour lunch break each day.

What you will learn:
1. Create 3D substrate suitable for mosaic
2. Break and shape tesserae (pieces) out of dishes
3. Adhere tesserae with thinset mortar and grout
