Description
Inspired by the intricate beauty of tile mosaics, a Mosaic Quilt is created by applying tiny square pieces of fabric to create the image. In this class you will create a 12 X 16 mosaic Wall-hanging. You can choose from any of the provided designs or create a design of your own. Choose a favourite photograph, or colouring page and turn it into a work of art. Need help with your design? Contact the instructor before the first class for extra support with your design. [email protected]
“Mosaic is at once intricate yet majestic. And it is precisely its brokeness that lends mosaic its perception of fragile beauty - the space between the tiles is as much an intricate part of its language of beauty as the mosaic tile itself.” – Rosalina Chai*
* Roslina Chai is an author, mother, and "seeker of beauty, curator of experiences, and holder of space." She lives in Singapore, and the excerpt was originally taken from her blog.
