Service Description

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. “With 47 years of teaching experience, I’m passionate about making this workshop unforgettable.
