About

Enter the world of mosaics, the decoration of a surface with small, various colored pieces of material, in this case, glass. This is also a fantastic opportunity to learn glass-cutting skills, including scoring, nipping, and shaping glass into specific angles and forms using hand and powered grinders. You'll understand why this technique is a favorite since antiquity!

• Day One: Learn how nippers cut glass for application to a rock, creating garden art or a memento to honor a favorite pet.
• Day Two: Expand cutting and shaping skills to create glass mosaic pieces used to create a heart wall plaque or mirror.
• Day Three: Use all tools plus powered grinders and the ring saw to decorate either a flower pot or bee bath of mosaics.
• Day Four: You'll grout your projects and learn the best techniques for securing mosaics with aesthetic appeal.
