Mosaics: Discover Your Artistic Voice (5 Day)
Adult Summer Workshop | Available
Discover your artistic voice through mosaics and complete 5 projects in 5 days. Every person has a unique artistic voice—and the wonderful part is, it’s already there waiting for you. There’s nothing to “find.” You uncover it by jumping in and making work. In this weeklong workshop, students will create five abstract 6”×6” mosaics, exploring a new prompt each day through a guided yet intuitive process. With each piece, patterns begin to emerge—preferred colors, textures, shapes, and rhythms start to reveal themselves. Through this process you’ll gain confidence, work more freely, and discover what makes your work distinctly your own. Basic techniques will be introduced, making the workshop accessible to beginners.
