Create a stunning illuminated glass mosaic artwork in this immersive three-day workshop with incredible artist Dyan Melnik.
Using an 8x10 framed base, students will design and create their own glass mosaic inspired by landscapes, trees, light, and color while learning the techniques needed to cut, arrange, grout, and finish a beautiful display-ready piece.
Throughout this workshop, students will explore composition, color relationships, glass cutting techniques, and mosaic assembly while creating a one-of-a-kind artwork that will be fully grouted, framed, and ready to proudly display at home.
