Explore the connection between art and spirituality through Meditative Mosaics.
Two hour classes meet 4 times - Dates to be arranged.Since the dawn of civilization
human beings have expressed their life experiences in art. Art is the
result of inspiration and inspiration has its basis in spirituality.
When art and spirituality merge, they allow us to express ourselves
as crafts-women and as philosophers.
As we quiet our minds and move
from do-ing
to Be-ing,
each moment of our artistic creation has the potential to be spiritually
infused.
Each class begins with a brief
guided relaxation.
In this class you will learn the
entire process from design through grouting. I will teach you how to
use nippers to cut and shape ceramic and glass tesserae, how to set
shards, and tricks of the trades. An added bonus, you will also learn
basic glass cutting skills—useful
for stained glass work!
My classes are suitable for both
the absolute beginner and continuing students.
Project Requirements: Projects should be of a size to finish
the tesserae process in the first three classes. The fourth class is
reserved for grouting.

Students need to arrive at the first class with a clear project plan and surface for mosaic-ing.
