"Wait, is that {insert type of glass here}?!" Working with a variety of types of opaque glass, we'll explore ways to alter their standard appearance (cutting, shaping, texturing) and use the altered and standard versions together in a mosaic composition for contrast and subtle surprise. Students will choose from several compositions and materials, select/alter/arrange pieces on a template, mix/apply mortar, and finally set their mosaic into mortar in a prepared frame.‍
