Spend two full days with Linda Millunzi-Jones, learning the art of mosaic work! You will be creating your own mosaic design pieces by using a hammer and/or a tile-nippers to safely break any plates, cups or bowls that you bring. Also bring any knickknacks, colored glass, old jewelry or anything else that you would like to incorporate into your project. We will create and finish a mosaic design on a prepared hanging wooden plaque (12” X 12”) that will have several small hooks and a mirror attached. I will provide one plaque for each student in the class.
If you have some experience, you may bring a form (i.e. small table) that you would like to use as the base for your mosaic design. Please check with me first if you plan to bring your own form in case it needs to be prepped in advance for class. Once you’re underway, you will see your design grow into an enduring expression of you. Hang your new plaque at home where you can find inspiration from it every day.
We will work together at a large table. On Saturday we will break your project pieces in a safe manner that I will show you, then design and glue the project. On Sunday we will grout and clean your finished project, then clean our workspace.
Students need to bring the following supplies:
- plates, bowls, cups, mirrors, knickknacks, colored glass, old jewelry, or anything else you want to try to use on your project
- smock or work shirt to wear over your clothes
- hammer, and any tile pliers/nippers and needle-nosed pliers of your choice – if you have them. Linda will have a few extra hammers and tile pliers that can be shared
Materials fee: (To be collected directly from students by instructor in class): $20 per person.
Linda Millunzi-Jones is self-taught and began making broken-piece mosaics in 2008. Her mosaics tend to be fanciful depictions of her life and the outdoors. She often breaks plates and bowls with patterns or colors that she likes, and then adds other found pieces that can be attached to the design.
Linda is also a mighty fine fiddler who plays music with the band, The Old Gray Cats.
