At the end of the afternoon spent in the Garden Studio you will take home a beautiful and functional piece of art! $50 + $10 material fee Hours: 1-4 pm |
| Super Broken Plate Mosaics |  |
Come spend the afternoon in the Garden Studio and create a project using broken plates, cups, tiles and ceramic pieces. There are a variety of mosaic ideas to choose from, including the newest project, a "tea cup" herb planter plaque, the very popular table top bird bath, a "quilted plate" flower pot or stepping stone or a wall plaque that can include a personal name or number. Each of these projects will give you the skills needed to create two or three dimensional mosaics. You will learn how to use the tile nippers, mix grouts and adhesives. At the end of the afternoon you will take home a beautiful and functional piece of art for your home or garden. $65 + $15 material fee Hours: 1-4 pm |
| Glass Tile Mosaics |  |
This mosaic medium lends itself to both the novice and experienced artist or crafter. It is a more traditional use of glass tiles along with stained glass and glass pieces. You will create a design using your own idea or patterns available in the studio. The image is then transferred onto backerboard plaques and brought to life using the rich mix of bright primary and jewel tones of glass. You will be guided in the use of the glass cutter and glass wheel-nippers along with instruction in mixing grout and using the appropriate adhesives. Come spend an afternoon in the Garden Studio and take home a piece of art that you have created! $65 + $15 material fee Hours: Noon-5 pm |
| "First Friday" Mosaics Workshop |  |
This is an open studio workshop for mosaic artists.You will be able to use the indoor or outdoor studio space to create your own mosaic projects. The studio time fee includes use of mosaic tools, adhesives and grout. If you have taken a mosaic class at the Painted Chair Studio or are familiar with the mosaic process, you can enjoy an afternoon of self-directed time creating mosaics. No instruction will be offered at this workshop. Bring your own supplies or purchase, at very reasonable prices, supplies from the studio. The supplies available at the studio will include everything you need to complete a project. |
