Mosaics in the Indirect Method

By Christine KenneallyPublished On: July 24, 2024

Explore the magic of mosaics! This workshop series is open to both beginner and intermediate level. I will work with each person to support in the process of composing your subject and building your skills. As you create your mosaic from bits of glass, tile, crockery and found objects, you will build skills of observation and interpretation, of patterns, shapes, movement and energy that all work together to give life and personality to your work. There will be a focus on building skills for cutting the various materials using hand tools. Working in the indirect method allows for us to make changes to the arrangement of pieces throughout the process, and the entire composition gets adhered to the permanent surface at the end. Mosaics will be 8” x 10” and your mosaic will be equipped with hardware to hang it on the wall, or you may bring your own frame.

Class will be small to allow for a lot of individualized instruction.

Students may sign up for one 4 week series or both.

I learned much more than I ever expected. Not only about mosaics, but about my creative abilities. I went into the class thinking I had none, but Christine pushed me to think outside the box and develop my creativity.

Christine is the best art teacher I’ve ever had. Her method of presenting techniques and information is so clear, and she has a terrific studio. I loved the class, it combines color , shape, texture and composition and wasn’t intimidating to learn. It was so much fun!

Christine helped me to integrate who I thought I was with who I really am, or could be. She gently and compassionately steered me in the direction of my deeper truth. Her wise and non-judgemental mentoring left me feeling freer to risk being truer to myself.

Christine created a safe space and offered guidance that helped me have a deeper understanding of myself. I appreciate how present she was during our session and the genuine sense of connectedness I experienced. The insights she provided caused me to reflect, and reminded me to look within when seeking guidance. Her positive energy, calm demeanor, and kind nature resonated throughout our session.
