Color Freedom Mixed Media Workshop with Donna Van Hooser - 
Friday Oct 13, Sat Oct 14, & Sunday Oct 15, 2023 
        
from 10 am to 5 pm each day
                         This class is sold out, please contact Suzanne to be placed on the waitlist.

Award winning instructor, Donna Van Hooser will be at Mosaic Oasis for a 3-day course. The cost of this class includes all materials. In this class we will select glass colors using greyscale values rather than traditional colors to create a still life image in mosaic. Precision cutting techniques will be covered, as well as andamento, glass selection and shading. Since this technique is more time consuming, a finished piece is not expected at the end of the three day workshop, however guidance will be given during the class for the students to be able to finish their mosaics on their own. Students will select from one of nine images provided by the instructor for the class. These images have been chosen for ideal contrast and detail for this technique. All materials are provided, including a 10x10 inch prepared substrate with photo and drawing, carbon paper to transfer, glue, and the loan of various tools to use during the workshop. A variety of mosaic mediums will be provided, including stained glass, hand made ceramic tiles, unglazed porcelain tiles, filati, and additional elements in a variety of colors. During the workshop, while there is a bit of instruction addressed to the entire class (cutting, andamento, and discussion of values/tones), 90% of the class is one-on-one instruction and assistance with andamento and glass selection. An email will be sent close to the time of the workshop with a list of any additional items students may wish to bring. .
