Smalti Mosaics with Dotti Stone

September 10, 2026 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Smalti … regarded for its color, brilliance, and reflective qualities, is often favored for creating mosaics. Produced from molten glass, it is colored with metal oxides into a palette of hundreds of shades of different colors in its standard opaque form as well as transparent and gold smalti.
A Power Point for students will show how this vibrant glass is made, include some history, and show work by different mosaic artists. Learn how to use the traditional hammer and hardie and modern wheeled cutters for cutting and shaping, then create your own special smalti mosaic. Smalti goes beyond traditional mosaics seen in cathedrals synagogues, and mosques to contemporary works in which it is integrated with slate, marble, and precious stones.


INSTRUCTOR BIO:

Stone took up mosaics in the early 2000s while in Northern VA. She open a studio at Bower Center for the Arts in 2009 after leaving the DC area. Stone creates fine art panels and sculptural works, exhibits her work, and teaches mosaics classes at Bower Center.

In 2015 she and several other mosaic artists formed BRMA, Blue Ridge Mosaic Artists. The group meets bimonthly, exhibits mosaics, and periodically works on community mosaic projects.

“Most rewarding is seeing what my students create, their excitement over the diverse materials, learning different techniques and their applications, and developing an appreciation for mosaics."
