About the Course
Transparencies in Mosaics:Mastering Light, Color & Depth in Glass
Join me as I share my painterly approach to capturing the beauty of transparent and translucent objects in glass mosaics.
Through clear explanations, images, demonstrations, a PowerPoint presentation, and stories, I will guide you step-by-step in creating a realistic mosaic of an object seen through glass. You’ll explore how distortions in color, shape, value, and flow bring transparency to life, while learning practical techniques to deepen your mosaic artistry.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
Advanced cutting techniques for stained glass
How to capture distortions in transparent and translucent objects
Value and color mixing for luminous effects
Andamento and composition for movement and flow
Techniques to create depth and dimension
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:
A deeper understanding of the distortions that occur when looking through transparent or translucent objects
A deeper understanding of color, value, distortions, and andamento
Refined cutting and placement skills for expressive transitions
An 8" x 8" mosaic of a transparent object that reflects your unique style
Whether you’re an experienced mosaicist or an adventurous beginner, this immersive workshop will leave you inspired, confident, and ready to elevate your glasswork.
