Mosaic Open Studio Time begins with the second session of most mosaics classes. This is time for those who want to work in a classroom environment, build on their skills, and receive occasional additional instruction while working on their own individual projects. Tools not in use will be available, otherwise students should bring their own. Attendees should bring their own supplies or they may be purchased from the instructor.
INSTRUCTOR BIO:
I began creating art in 2012 when I needed something to distract me from the mental chatter in my head. I began creating, what I like to call "expressive line art", and discovered that I really enjoyed it! I loved the freedom to create what I wanted and continued learning other mediums. I learned how to paint with watercolor paints, got back into acrylic painting (from high school!), and became interested in mosaics in 2018. My art style is mostly expressive and whimsical, using vibrant colors and bold lines. I like mosaics because I get to collect all kinds of tesserae (pieces you use to create your mosaic) like jewelry pieces, old dishes, broken glass, sea shells, etc., and incorporate those things into my designs.
I get jazzed up when I discover a technique or a medium I really like, and I enjoy teaching others what I've learned. It's the HOWs and the WHYs that I want to share with people. Teaching encourages me to continue creating and allows me to meet new people and encourage them to believe in their creative abilities even when they think they have none!
