Putting the pieces together with the Beautiful Stuff Project

Come have fun with mosaics!  Experiment with different materials including ceramic, glass, and stone and use unexpected materials like buttons, beads, and bottle caps.  Each person will make their own mosaic to take home, and we’ll also work together on a mosaic to hang for everyone to enjoy.  All materials provided, class will meet at the Main Campus, 10 Meetinghouse Road, Truro.

Emily Bhargava works primarily in glass, ceramic, and steel and also incorporates a wide variety of upcycled materials and found objects into her work.  She transforms blank walls and empty spaces into colorful, quirky, and playful designs that inspire reflection, learning, and community ownership.  Emily is skilled at project design, facilitation, fostering collaborations, project management, and arts integration.  Emily often works at the intersection of art and public health, helping communities utilize the arts as an effective tool for health promotion. She currently serves as the Community Art Director for The Beautiful Stuff Project, a creative reuse center based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and as Director of Connection Lab, LLC, a consulting firm that engages in health promotion and community art interventions. She is also an active teaching artist.  She serves as the co-chair of the programming committee of the New England Mosaic Society
