We are excited to host Seattle mosaic artist Kelley Knickerbocker for a double header October 16/17th and 18/19th.

BORROWED COLOR: CLEAR/SEMI-CLEAR GLASS OVER PIGMENTED MORTAR is October 16 and 17th, 10am-5pm each day.

Working with a variety of textured, frosted, and iridized clear glass, our focus will be on transparency/translucence as it facilitates external color transfer. You’ll learn to custom-tint cement mortars in simple colors and more complex gradients, which will lend color to the glass pieces as we set them into a mosaic design, noting the effect of the glass surface texture on color intensity. We’ll also juxtapose sections of this technique with non-glass material to heighten its unique effect. Students will choose from several compositions (or use their own), select/cut/shape/arrange pieces on a template, mix/apply mortar, and finally set their mosaic into mortar on a substrate.
Cost for this workshop is $395 ($345 if you also register for the Saturday/Sunday workshop Power of One)
