Class members will create garden orbs beginning with a styrofoam ball. During the process the class will explore different adhesives and tessera that modern day mosaic artists use. This is a four part class.
- For the 1st two sessions class members will cover their ball with fiberglass mesh and thin set. Students will plan the design and place the tessera on their garden orb.
- The final step of grouting in clean up takes place during the 3rd class.
This class is designed to accommodate learners from the first time mosaicist to the experienced artist of all ages.
Those who attend will leave with more than a beautiful piece of art, but with the knowledge to craft and design mosaic art on their own.
The tools , supplies including adhesive, tesserae, and fiberglass mesh and styrofoam ball are included in the supply costs and will be provided by the instructor.

- A paintbrush to aid in cleaning as you go.

- Old shoe box or small tub for cutting glass with nippers.
- Additional mask for mixing grout
- Glasses or protective eye wear
