Tempered Glass Mosaics with Marian Shapiro




Dates: Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th October
Venue: Blue Mountains Creative Art Centre, Glenbrook

(Cnr Hare and Moore Streets - behind Glenbrook Oval) http://bmcac.com/

Come and join award winning mosaic artist Marian Shapiro for this one and a half day workshop on Tempered Glass Mosaic. You will use paint, papers and other materials under tempered glass (crash glass), combined with other materials to produce an exquisite, small hanging mosaic (25 c m x 25 cm) suitable for interior display.
Day 1 – 9am to 5pm is for putting the mosaic together.
Day 2 – 10am to 1pm is a short session for grouting and finishing. Participants are welcome to bring their own materials to put under the glass after consultation with Marian.
Use of tools and appropriate mosaic materials sufficient for a small mosaic are provided, but you are very welcome to bring extra materials to make your piece unique and personal. Presentations and books give you lots of inspiration. You get detailed notes and as classes are small, lots of individual attention. And of course, your mosaic creation to take home
Cost: $120 per person
Materials fee: Plus $25 per person payable to the tutor for materials.

Bookings: Vicki – 47395891 Course Queries: Marian - 02 4739 3532 or 0404 850157

We have over $3,000 worth of prizes including the $1,000 Rose Lindsay Award. We also have pleasing sales over the 3 days of the exhibition.
