​I am always eager to share my passion for the mosaic medium and really love teaching. I have been instructing mosaics for twenty years, both here in my studio and at several long established art and craft centers across the US, including Snow Farm, Arrowmont, Penland, Touchstone, Worcester Art Museum, Peters Valley, and the Institute of Mosaic Art in Berkley, CA. The main focus of my workshops is the indirect method, which is how I do 99% of my mosaics, the exception being 3-D surfaces. 

2025 WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
Stay tuned for workshop dates. Winter is too problematic to offer workshops here in the snowy hills, but I will post first springtime offerings soon!

BUCKLAND STUDIO WORKSHOP OVERVIEW 
In my studio, workshops are 2 days in length. I present a brief history of the medium, explain the different methods of working (direct, indirect, and variations within these categories), then overview information on materials, substrates, and tools. The always important andamento, or way mosaic tiles are laid, is addressed, as well as use of color and tile shape. My main focus is the indirect method. Working indirectly offers the artist the most flexibility in making changes to a piece during the assembly process, allows for a flatter final product, and keeps the laying process 'clean'. Plan on bringing a sketch or idea of what you would like to create as I do not provide this - your creativity is a necessary component of my style of instruction. Workshop cost is $225, I request a $50 deposit to save a space.   
HOURS: Saturday, 10:00 - 4:00, Sunday, 11:00 - 5:00. Students should plan on coming earlier on Sunday to work independently before class resumes at 11:00. To register, email cindy@bigbangmosaics.com

TESTIMONIALS

“My personal choice of Tectonic Shift; New World Order caught my eye from the very start of the viewing process. It is a true mosaic, done in the spirit of the medium. It uses the materials…with complete understanding of their qualities, of light, color and intensity….Brava!”
Elaine Goodwin, Juror , Mosaic Arts International Exhibition, San Diego Women's Museum, 2016
"I just saw the mosaic at the South Surgery Center. It is fabulous! It is just beautiful...once again thank you for leading us to just the right art choice."
excerpt to art consultant from hospital CEO, Dayton,Ohio 2017


"...everyone is over the moon with happiness and excitement about the mural. They are Beyond pleased." Barbara Harriman, President, Distinctive Art Source, 2017
"Seeing your whole body of work together, it blew me away.   Such an inspiring unity of brain and heart. It's authentically smart but balanced so perfectly with such heartfelt gentleness and freedom." Lynn Moor former owner, Mosaic Smalti 2017
