"Mirror, mirror, on the wall… Who's the fairest of them all?" Clearly, your mirror will be the fairest of them all by the end of this workshop, where you will create a framed broken-glass mosaic mirror that is gorgeous.
The workshop meets for two sessions, three hours each time. During that time you will learn to combine colors, cut glass, create a pattern or design, and apply adhesive. You will grout your project during the final class.
Creating a mosaic mirror, applying adhesive, and grouting are easy, and you do not need prior experien
ce
with glass or previous knowledge of the mosaic process.
The 20-inch by 14-inch mirror will look stunning on any wall in your home or office!
This class has a materials fee of $40 for a mirror frame and adhesive and grout. This fee is due to the instructor at the time of the class. All other supplies will be provided. If you have special pieces of glass or pottery that you want to use, bring them along. Participants should bring an apron and sturdy shoes (no flip flops or open sandals, please.)
