Starting the Monday after next, July 25th, is an entirely new, requested-by-continuing-students class, Mixing Ceramics into Mosaics / ‘Pique Assiette’ Class! This class will involve choosing and painting (flat and/or 3-D) ceramics from the shop on the first session, after which they will be glazed, fired, and ready for us by the 2nd class. We’ll then take our ceramics and mix them together with tiles or other tesserae into a beautiful 2- or 3-D mosaic. We don’t even have to grout these mosaics! This is a great way to be able to truly personalize your tesserae by painting the ceramics with whatever words, images, or colors that you want! You can also bring any ceramic or porcelain family or garage sale treasures you’ve been saving to work into your piece! Because this is such a different form of mosaic (that’s been around for 1,000s of years, actuallly!), you don’t need to have taken a prior mosaic class!

Class runs (2)  Monday nights; July 25th and August 1, 5:30-8:30 pm each night. I know many of you were interested in and requested this class, so sign up now! Email me at tilemosaicgirl@gmail.com and I’ll email you an invoice to pay through paypal (you don’t need a paypal account to pay this way). Cost is $125 for class and $50 for materials fee ($55 if you need safety glasses). Check out the photos of several very different examples of this form of mosaics from some wonderful mosaic artists!
