The ancient art of Mosaics is traced back over 4,000 years to Mesopotamia! Mosaics is the art of arranging small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile, or glass. These materials are proven to withstand time. Venture to historic cities like Rome and Athens and you can still walk across the same mosaic flooring from thousands of years ago! The Mosaic Classes at The Glass Bar are committed to keeping the art of Mosiacs alive! Our trusted instructor, Wendy Birchmire, has been working in mosaics for over 10 years, and is ready to share her technique!
Join us as we explore the ancient art of Mosaics. In this class, students will work to embellish a piece with precut glass and other materials such as tiles, penny rounds, and beads.
Wendy will challenge students to create a piece that they are proud of! They will learn how to use glass nippers to shape pre-cut pieces of glass. Using this technique, they will work to design a picture frame that they can keep or give as a gift. Who doesn’t have a photograph that could use a unique frame?
The glue used needs at least 24 hours to dry before grouting. Students will watch a demonstration of the grouting technique in class and then be sent home with detailed instructions and all the necessary supplies to complete their work.
