Borrowed Color: Mosaic in Clear Glass over Tinted Mortar
February 22 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
Working with a variety of textured, frosted, and iridized clear glass, our focus will be on transparency/translucence as it facilitates external color transfer. We’ll custom-tint cement mortars (our adhesive), which will lend color to the glass pieces as we set them into a mosaic design, noticing the effect of the glass surface texture on color intensity.Students will choose from several compositions, select/cut/shape/arrange pieces on a template, mix/apply mortar, and finally set their mosaic into mortar in a prepared frame.
