Radical Dimensions in Glass Mosaic
Instructor: Kelley Knickerbocker (www.rivenworksmosaics.com)
Level: Intermediate/Advanced*
Dates: Sept 10-12, 2010
Friday 6:30-9pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm
Fee: $250 plus $50 materials fee
Minimum # of students: 5
Maximum # of students: 10
Course description:
This workshop invites students to see glass in a whole new way by introducing
them to three "extreme sport" variations of glass-on-glass mosaics:
Texture Field, in which multiple textures of clear and frosted architectural
glass are combined to create a dense, light-distorting field of visual texture;
Flat Stacking, in which stained glass is layered on top of itself on a mirror substrate
for luminous light diffusion and a 3-D backgrount/foreground effect; and
Edge Stacking, in which clear, opaque, and translucent stained glass strips
of varying heights/lengths are stacked on edge either singly or packed together
so that the often beautifully striated riven edge is the visual focus.
Workshop is a combination of lecture/slideshow, demos, and lots of hands-on
practice.
Students will gain understanding and proficiency by creating a 12" x 12" mosaic
incorporating all three techniques, and will learn to use SpectraLock epoxy grout.
Additional topics covered will be designing for these techniques, efficient cutting
and setting tips, using mirror as a substrate, mixing these techniques with other
media, and appropriate adhesives, tools, and applications.
All supplies, tools and materials will be provided, but students are welcome to
supplement provided glass with glass from their own inventories.
This workshop will be of greatest benefit to mosaic artists who have worked in
glass and are looking for ways to "push the envelope" in how glass can be used
in mosaics.
*Ability to cut glass in straight lines with a straightedge is critical to getting the
most out of this workshop, and unfortunately there's just not time to teach it during
the workshop. A good understanding of basic mosaic principles and vocabulary
will also be helpful.
Cancellation Policy: If the instructor has to cancel the class for any reason,
students will receive full refund of all tuition/fees paid. Students withdrawing at least
14 days before class date will receive a tuition refund minus $50. Students withdrawing
13-7 days prior to class date will receive $150 tuition credit toward a future class.
No refunds or credits will be issued for cancellations less than 7 days prior to class date.
