Mosaic Making

This ongoing workshop will provide passersby the opportunity to engage in the centuries old technique of mosaic making. Visitors will be cutting glass and tile, "nipping" shapes from glass, working with color, shape and direction and learning to assemble a mural from scratch. The end result will then be placed in the sculpture room window as an entrance piece to the studios.
