Mosaic Portraiture In this intermediate-level workshop students will use traditional and nontraditional mosaic techniques to understand structure, cross-contour, highlights, color, gradation, value and types of shadows. Students will learn how to “see” things differently with artist tricks and learn fine art techniques such as understanding facial structure, color and value in order to create and discover realism in mosaic art. You’ll learn to mix glass values and colors to define planes, and how to use color most effectively. Carol will help you to develop your own style and foster an eye for mosaic. There will be a one hour demonstration and you’ll begin a life-like 12" x 12" mosaic portrait from a photograph. 2 Days, Tuition: $425 Saturday-Sunday, May 17-18
9:00am - 5:00pm
Guest Instructor Kent Lauer has been working with glass for more than 30 years. What started with a fascination with glass soon became a career. Kent learned to bevel early in his art glass career, and was determined to find out everything he could about pushing the limits of beveled glass. His work has since been seen worldwide, in important homes and historic buildings.
