Join Emily Bhargava for an exploration of mosaics in all media. Experiment with a variety of traditional and innovative materials and discuss proper substrates and adhesives. Learn about indoor and outdoor mosaics, including how to assure that any outdoor creations will last through freeze-thaw cycles. Each student will make a 12x12” mosaic and will participate in a variety of collaborative samples to build comfort with a wide range of materials.

All levels are welcome. 

All materials are included with registration, but, please wear closed-toed shoes, and on the last day of class please wear clothes that can get messy! If you have favorite comfortable safety goggles, you can bring them.
