Mosaic Portraiture (5 Day)

Adult Summer Workshop | Registration opens Monday, May 4, 2026 8:00 AM EDT

Learn to create a realistic portrait using the ancient art of mosaic. The instructor will guide you through the process of creating a one-of-a-kind mosaic portrait based upon a student-provided photo . Special emphasis will be placed on the effective use of tonal values and Andamento (mosaic flow) in the creation of a realistic image.

Although this course is suitable for beginner through experienced, students must be able to cut and shape glass using basic mosaic handtools. Students will be required to submit a full-face photo of the desired subject to instructor approximately one week prior to start of class.

    • Sketchbook or notebook for design ideas
    • Apron or clothes you don’t mind getting messy
    • Optional: dust mask, gloves (for grouting), rags or sponges
    • Students will be provided with an 8x10" wooden canvas for their mosaic
