Forge Workshop Series: Glass Mosaic Workshop - January 16

January 07, 2017 by Jen Pilles in Event

Monday January 16 / 6:30-8:30pm / Akin Dufferin - 444 Dufferin St - Unit E
$25 per person - all materials included / Get your tickets here: http://universe.com/mosaicworkshop

Learn the foundations of mosaic art using regular and tempered glass as your tesserae*. It's suggested that students bring a collection of small images, text on paper or crafted paper pieces like Washi to include in their mosaic. We will practice an overlay technique using tissue paper, glitter and more. Glass mosaics beautifully and permanently encapsulate your treasures underneath each piece of glass. No prior mosaic knowledge necessary. All levels welcome.

About the Instructor:
Elena Martoglio has been cast over by the magic and beauty of mosaic art since a trip to Barcelona, Spain over a decade ago. She creates exclusive hand made mosaics for homes and has collaborated in unique, public mural projects in Cordoba, Argentina and Toronto. She is a member of the Society of American Mosaic Artists and is currently devising a large mural project this coming Spring, with the arts community is Salmon Arm, BC.
