Introduction to Mosaics: Building on Edge

Learn to customize and create your own glass mosaic. All skill levels welcome! In this course we'll focus on the unsung cut edge of stained glass, using basic cutting tools (wheeled nippers and a glass cutter) to make strips that when set together on edge and mixed with pops of contrast form gorgeously dense and complex abstract patterns. All materials and tools are provided, you need only bring your curiosity. No previous experience is necessary. This workshop will include a 30 minute lunch break. Students may bring lunch or visit one of the nearby restaurants in Seattle's Pioneer Square. Please note: This workshop is welcome to everyone ages 14+. Parents or guardians must sign up alongside participants under the age of 18.
