Louise-Fischman-Mosaic

Mosaics is the ancient process of making pictures or designs by inlaying small bits of colored tile in mortar. Their solidity, resistance to moisture, durability, and colorfastness make mosaics perfect for practical uses and spectacular in their color and beauty. The possibilities are endless with simple, easy-to-learn mosaic tiling! We'll learn some basic history about mosaics, how to cut both ceramic and glass tile, form a design, adhere the tile to a surface, and grout it into place. No artistic experience is necessary!

Paul Heath has a BFA from the University of Utah in Drawing and Painting, and has been a self-employed artist and teacher of art for 24 years. Louise Fischman earned a BFA from Pratt Institute and is a long-time teacher of art in the schools and therapeutic art in hospitals and treatment facilities. Paul and Louise have studied at the Mosaic School in Ravenna, Italy; and both have co-designed and executed numerous public art projects using mosaic tiling, including artwork along the Jordan River Parkway.

PLEASE NOTE: A $50 tuition fee* per workshop covers art supplies, along with a boxed-lunch and a day of creating! *This fee may be reduced or waived based on need -- please call before registering online for this option.

Workshop space is limited, so please register early and limit your enrollment to no more than two workshops. You may request to be placed on a "wait list" for additional workshops.
