Next “Tile Mosaics for Beginners” class starts tomorrow night at CO Free U. There are still a few spots available, but I think it’s only 2 or 3. Class is only two weeks and you’ll leave with your first completed mosaic piece and tons of great knowledge to go on to your next project! Mosaics are a TERIFFIC stress reliever and such a fun way to just immerse yourself in something and let everything else just fall away! Last class, I had 9 wonderful students who had a blast and made some absolutely beautiful pieces of artwork! I have great pictures of them and their work; I just need to get them posted! In the meantime, here’s what you can expect in this class:
Choose from several project bases (what you will put your mosaic on; like a frame or address number plaque), which are included along with tiles, adhesives, grout, and sealer. Use the wide array of colored ceramic tiles provided or upgrade by purchasing more elaborate tiles and other items that can be used in mosaics. In the first class, students learn the basics of breaking, cutting, arranging, and adhering tiles and complete their designs. In the second class, students learn how to grout their piece and complete finishing steps that “bring their piece to life”. Leave the second class with sealer to take home and apply later. Information on mosaic basics, great sources for materials and supplies, and setting up a mosaic art workspace will be also be discussed. Each class consists of two 3.5-hour sessions for a total of 7 hours. Wednesday, March 24th and Wednesday, March 31st, 6:00-9:30 pm at CFU’s Lowry campus, off Quebec St. between 6th Ave. and Alameda.
