Description
Learn how to create sculptural bases specifically for mosaics, as it is uniquely different to making a sculpture. Both the mosaic surface materials as well as the artistic design of the sculpture is taken into consideration at the beginning of the process. That is, mosaics is not an add on to a sculpture, but indeed an intricate part of the overall design process.
This 1 day workshop focuses on the design elements of working the mosaic with the sculpture from the beginning, as well as teaching you three different techniques where you will create sculpture bases for mosaics. You will also learn a variety of adhesive techniques to finish your work using smalti, glass or unglazed ceramic tiles.
