VANESSA SOMERS
Welcome Mosaic Artists and Beginners!
This course is designed to give students confidence in translating their designs into beautiful mosaics. First, they will learn techniques used to create cold Roman mosaics using the reverse method into cement. Then they will learn a new discipline for hot glass mosaics: fusing compatible glass tesserae (made in the class) to create works of art.
No glassworking experience is required.
