Art Gems - Mosaics with Debra Hagen

Sat Apr 5, 10 am - 2pm

Feel like experimenting with a medium that’s been used for thousands of years?! In this class students will have the opportunity to use the most coveted of mosaic material, Italian smalti. This glass tile comes in many different colours and is treasured for its texture and shine.  It is an excellent material for creating both abstract and representational work. The substrate will be a 6” x 6” cradle board.

All tools and materials will be provided.
