Create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind mosaic with artist, Sharra Frank. This class will take place in the Stellar Handcrafted Goods Makerspace in the Waterbury Building in the NE Minneapolis Arts District.
You will select from an array of “Sharra’s Shapes”, a custom line of exclusively designed mosaic substrates made from high grade baltic birch plywood. After an introduction to mosaics and color inspiration, you will select your materials from a treasure trove of tile, beads and more.
Sharra will demonstrate and guide students in how to cut, adhere and place mosaic materials. Students will learn both technical and artistic skills in this four hour in-studio class including topics such as tools, adhesives and grouting.
All materials included! Feel free to bring treasures, doo-dads, old jewels, buttons and china to incorporate.
Students will also receive a mosaic resource and materials guide.
Beginner to experienced mosaic students are all welcome!
