Mosaic by Bonnie Fitzgerald
PLEASE NOTE: The final session date will be held on Wednesday, June 13 (not June 12).
Tempered glass, also known as crash glass, is a versatile material that when used as an overlay adds a shimmer to modern mosaic art works. Students use tempered glass, as well as stained glass and other glass products, to produce sophisticated compositions filled with unexpected visual interest.
In the first class, students develop a prototype artwork, experimenting with and mastering the adhesive and mosaic materials. They create an elaborate paper collage with photographs, stickers, colorful tissue papers, stamps, glitter, or wrapping paper—just about anything that allows for a flat surface. They then apply the tempered- and stained-glass overlay. A larger, more complex artwork is designed and executed in subsequent weeks. Grouting is optional. No mosaic experience is necessary.
Students are encouraged to bring papers, photos, and personal imagery for inclusion in their final project. A separate supply fee of $50 is payable to the instructor and includes most materials.
