MOSAIC WORKSHOPS
BIG BANG MOSAICS studio, Buckland, MA, our straw bale barn.
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. 2024 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! 2 DAY BUCKLAND STUDIO WORKSHOPs My next workshops will be November 16 - 17, 2024, scroll down for more information email me if you want to sign up. I ask for a $50 deposit to hold your spot. Cindy@bigbangmosaics.com WORKSHOPS AT REGIONAL CRAFT CENTERS SNOW FARM, the NEW ENGLAND CRAFT PROGRAM WILLIAMSBURG, MA OCTOBER 10 - 13 Mosaics Naturally  A student in this workshop put together this group of pictures from the weekend workshop, so cool!! And as always, great mosaics in a wide variety of styles.
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 |
