Mosaic Flowerpots

Class Description: In this 3-hour class, students will create an original mosaic design on a terra cotta pot using thin-set mortar for the direct application method. Tesserae for the design will include a variety of stained glass, pottery, tile, stone, beads, and gems. Nipping and shaping techniques will be presented along with the process for applying tessera.

The mosaic project will be grouted by the instructor and available for pick-up at the POAC Gallery within the following week.
