The Botanical Mosaic Series is a multi-session, hands-on experience that introduces participants to the fundamentals of mosaic art while building toward the creation of a one-of-a-kind botanical-inspired masterpiece.
Throughout the series, participants will learn about the tools and materials used in mosaic making and gain hands-on experience with the major stages of the process, including design and composition, understanding and safely using mosaic tools, cutting and arranging pieces, applying and adhering materials, and grouting and finishing the artwork.
The final phase brings an additional creative dimension to the traditional mosaic process. Participants will explore ways to incorporate botanical elements into their finished pieces, combining texture, color, natural inspiration, and personal artistic choices to transform each mosaic into something truly unique. Because participants select and arrange their own materials and botanical elements, no two finished pieces will be alike.
