Encrusted Mosaics
Cindy Lewton
6 Hours
Workshop Description
Do you hang on to every doodad, every broken piece, every screw, nail knowing you can use it some day? This is the day! This is an art form that allows you to create with wild abandon. The piece pictured has a Day of the Dead theme. What are you passionate about? Come to class with an overall theme and bring your doodads that correspond to that theme. If you can't come up with an idea, we'll help you in class and there will be plenty of found objects to use. Each student will learn a grout-less form of mosaics and leave with a finished project. You will be amazed at how different each piece will be!
