Mosaic 101

Eileen has been installing community mosaics throughout Charlottesville in schools and Habitat for Humanity buildings. Her work can be seen at C’ville Arts Coop on the Downtown Mall. This very beginner workshop will focus on tools, materials and basics of cutting tile and glass, how to properly adhere mosaic bits to a substrate, make a curve from a square, and grouting. You’ll have a fun, relaxed time making your first impressive mosaic art piece at your own pace. We will be making a fall leaf. You will go home with a ready to hang wall hanging with bright and shiny glass and ceramic tiles. All materials are provided. 5 hours with a 40 minute break to let the tiles set before grouting. ages 12-112 $68
