Workshop Description:
The ability to make mosaic jewellery is a fantastic addition to your mosaic repertoire that results in beautiful wearable art, suitable for gifting or selling. Learn how to create high-end, precisely laid mosaic jewellery in this two day workshop.
Day 1: The first day begins with a comprehensive lecture and slide show on jewellery base selection, adhesive choice, and suitable tesserae, followed by an examination of design for jewellery and how it differs from standard mosaic design. Precision cutting, the key to fine mosaic jewellery, will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced. Jewellery laying techniques will be thoroughly covered, and students can expect lots of great tips!
Class participants will receive lots of individual attention as they work on silver plate mosaic pendants using luxury mosaic materials, including mosaic gold, smalti, filati, semiprecious stones, dichroic glass, and millefiori.
Day 2: On the second day, participants will hone their newfound skills in precision mosaic making while working on a more challenging second project. A comprehensive handout will be provided, and participants should expect to depart with the knowledge and skills to create precision mosaic jewellery on their own. This workshop should benefit participants of all levels who want to learn to cut material more precisely, who want to add high end mosaic jewellery to their repertoire, or who are interested in learning to work in small scale mosaic.
What's Included: Students in this class will be provided with all materials and tools to create their mosaic pendants. However bringing your own wheeled glass nippers to the workshop would be beneficial, as well as any magnifying eyewear or small tools desired.
Delicious morning tea and end of day refreshments supplied.
BYO light lunch: fridge and microwave available.
