The goal of this workshop is to share my passion for mosaic art with you. You don’t have to be experienced or artistic to create a beautiful mosaic. All you need is the desire to try… and a few inexpensive materials. Once you start working on your own piece of art, the power of your creative force will begin to emerge and grow. The pieces you lay down will transform into a stunning piece of art. I promise you, there is something incredibly cathartic and healing in working in this medium. The best part of any workshop is completing and leaving with a piece of art to hang on your wall.
This workshop is all about LOVE!
The world we are presently living in has a great many problems that seem insurmountable. We often feel powerless and alone and it’s easy to lose hope for a better world. Well, I can’t solve all the world’s problems, but I can offer a weekend of helping you find love in your own heart and share it through the power of mosaic art. When you walk through the door on March 2nd & 3rd, we will work on nurturing the loving creative energy within and join together in a full day of turning down the volume and simply creating.
You are invited to arrive early at 9 AM and begin each day by participating in a 30 minute very simple guided meditation. (This is optional - No experience required) You will be immersed in a quiet, caring and creative environment where you will be guided through the stillness, thru breath work, and then finally beautiful music to hold your hand to your beating heart and embrace the beauty and love within and then extend this love to your external world through the creation of mosaic art.
At 9:30 AM you are invited to enjoy a beverage along with a light breakfast.
We begin the mosaic making workshop at 10 AM on the dot! And, by the end of the two days you will have learned how to complete a mosaic piece of art. You will go home with your own mosaic creation to give as a gift or hang on your wall.
This workshop is designed to teach attendees how to make a mosaic in the popular pique-assiette style. Over the course of 2 days, you will learn about the origins of pique-assiette style of mosaic and how to create one from start to finish. We will incorporate pieces of broken ceramics, plates, dishes, cups, tiles and other found objects into our “heart felt” works of art. I’ll have lots of variety available for your use, but I encourage you to bring some found objects or a chipped dish of your own. (Suitable found objects such as, childhood treasures like marbles, small doll parts, costume jewelry, bottle caps, small china figurines. (just be sure you're okay with breaking it)
