Workshop Description

Professional Artist and Maverick Mosaic owner Bonnie Fitzgerald guides you through the creative development and preparation process to produce your next mosaic work of art. These instructive sessions will provide you a strong foundation of knowledge and technique to help streamline the steps of your next mosaic project and work with confidence.

Beginning with your inspiration piece – be it a photograph, a piece of fabric or something in your head, you will be guided through the important preparatory, development, and completion stages to create wonderful mosaics. And, you’ll enjoy yourself in the process.

You will first create a color coded “cartoon,” (a mosaic blueprint) which is guided by fundamental design elements and principles (line, form, focal point and color theory principles). Next, we will work out sourcing your materials - if Maverick’s store does not have exactly what you need then who does? How do I figure how much I need of what? Save money by ordering right the first time! We will cover all pertinent practical and technical issues including cutting techniques and material preparation.

This workshop is LIMITED to 4 participants per session and is encouraged for anyone interested in utilizing Maverick Mosaics’ Open Studio format. Design Clinic spans TWO 2 hours sessions, there will be homework in between meetings!

Pre-requisite: Introduction to Mosaics or similar experience.
