Introduction to Mosaics, Session 2 (three-day workshop)

Adult Summer Workshop | Available

Discover the art of mosaics by giving new life to the objects around you. In this beginner-friendly class, students will learn the fundamentals of mosaic technique while transforming functional items—such as trays, planters, mirrors, or small household pieces—into meaningful, one-of-a-kind works of art.Focusing on creative reuse and personal storytelling, students are encouraged to bring materials from their own lives: broken dishes, chipped ceramics, jewelry, stones, or small keepsakes that can be incorporated into their designs. These personal touches add layers of memory and meaning to each mosaic piece.

Using a mix of ceramic tile, glass, and found objects, students will learn the basics of cutting, adhering, grouting, and design. This process-oriented course emphasizes experimentation and resourcefulness, with plenty of room for creative exploration.

    • Small functional object to mosaic (e.g., a flowerpot, tray, mirror frame, box, stool
    • Personal materials to incorporate such as dishes, old tiles, beads, buttons, costume jewelry, small stones or shells, glass pieces or mirror fragments
    • Sketchbook or notebook for design ideas
    • Apron or clothes you don’t mind getting messy
    • Optional: dust mask, gloves (for grouting), rags or sponges
