YEY!!! I’m SO excited to be offering some classes on mosaics for beginners, coming up in Denver. They are offered through Colorado Free University (www.freeu.com), a wonderful community continuing education non-profit that has provided excellent content for over twenty years. I’ve been a longtime student of CFU, taking classes on such topics as “Using Twitter for Business”, “Using Facebook for Business”, “Creating the Work you Love”, “Publishing your Book”, “Making a Living without a Job”, “Investing Basics for Women”, “Grantwriting”, and many more!
COURSE DESCRIPTION: In this fun, fully interactive course, learn to make your own mosaic art piece. 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, setting up a mosaic art workspace, and next-level mosaics will be also be discussed. Each class consists of two 3-hour sessions for a total of 6 hours.
