Description:
For Beginner and more Advanced Students

Lisa Houck will bring her background as a painter and designer to work with students to develop their compositions and personal imagery in mosaics. In this class we will work with Mexican smalti. These tiles are handmade and they have unusual variations of color and texture. Lisa Houck has worked with this medium for her public art installations because it is touchable, durable and groutable, as well as being painterly and subtle in its colors and textures.

This course will provide an in-depth experience with mosaic design and fabrication. Each participant will create an 8” x 8” mosaic with traditional Mexican glass smalti and an assortment of other ceramic and glass tiles. Students will learn to cut the tiles into a variety of shapes and place them to create movement and pattern in their mosaics. Students should bring photos, books, magazines and sketches as inspiration for mosaic designs. Designs should be sized at 8”X 8”.
