(mosaic tiles). Potential projects include a decorative panel, mirror
or small table top, house number or name. For more advanced students, there is the chance to try additional techniques such as the indirect method or 3D applications. |
The Course (Two days)The course begins with an inspirational slide show followed by instruction on materials and shaping techniques. Students will go on to pursue their own creative projects in the style and material of their choice, working from their own design or one provided by Zantium. Grouting and finishing demonstrations conclude the workshop. |
