Micromosaics are intricate artworks made from thousands of tiny pieces of glass enamel, known as tesserae, that are carefully arranged to form highly detailed images. This class will give you hands-on experience with one of the most mesmerizing art forms of the 18th and 19th centuries. With guidance on color selection, layout, and technique, you’ll discover how these small fragments come together to form a floral motif. Perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind micromosaic pendant - an enduring work of beauty, blending the permanence of glass with the delicacy of fine art. The instructor will bring all tools and materials needed. Materials are included in the class fee.
Kit includes the pendant substrate, three tools (diamond file, tweezers, and pick tool), epoxy adhesive, commercial murrini, and 8-9 lengths of handmade glass filati in petal, leaf, round, and background shapes. Kit also includes the use of safety glasses, tile nippers and miscellaneous supplies during the class.
This activity is made possible by grants through the Region 2 Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
