This is an exciting introduction to the world of creative mosaic. You will be working in glass mosaic to create a sample piece on a flat panel.
The focus is on glass mosaic used in contemporary artworks, exploring composition in classical and conceptual mosaic work. You will be shown techniques and materials, including new materials on the market that facilitate the exploration of the creative process.
Your tutor will support you with one-to-one guidance to help you consider suitable subjects and patterns for interpretation.
