Learn how to create amazing Tapestry Mosaics
Tapestry mosaic is non-grouted or embedded mosaic. In this workshop, students will learn techniques for creating beautiful solid tapestry mosaics reminiscent of Laurel Skye. This is a great class for learning different ways to use beads and to explore what found objects can be used. We cover what materials can be used, adhesives, application of tesserae and ways to finish pieces so they have a polished look.

Tapestry Mosaic Magnets Class
These fun, colorful, bejeweled magnets are created from beads, broken jewelry, and other bits and baubles you would like to include. We will make three 1" magnets using epoxy resin clay to secure the tesserae (beads, etc.) to the magnet. When completed, the final product is beautiful and strong. All materials will be provided including a selection of beads, the base magnet and the epoxy clay.

Tapestry Mosaic Panel Class
In this workshop, students provide much of their own materials based on what was learned in the first class. Now the surface is a 3" x 12" panel, and the focus shifts to design. This is a two-session class. Day 1 is for basic layout, prepping the panel and getting the boarder done. Day 2 is fining tuning your design, adhering your tesserae to complete a stunning mosaic and ways to create a polished and strong piece. The sessions are a week apart so students can find the perfect pieces for their creations and can explore design ideas without the pressure of needing to finish. Raid your button box, explore your bead hoard, look through your broken jewelry for materials to bring to class. Think bottle caps, fused glass, polymer clay and ceramic pieces, the ideas are endless. Complete instructions on the materials that students need to finish the project are provided after registration. Students will need to have most of their materials by the first day of class.
