Susan will teach the basics of the tempered glass application. No previous experience necessary!

Some of the topics: Review of some of the leading tempered glass artists, the possibilities, tools, supplies and where to get them, substrates, and four adhesives will be discussed and demonstrated (including Susan's 2 favorites).

You will do 3 small pieces that explore the wide range of substrates suitable to tempered glass mosaic technique (wood, glass, etc.). You can bring your own decorative papers, photos, or other flat (paper-thin) mementos if you'd like.

On the second day, we will grout our pieces. Susan will teach various ways to add multi-color effects to your grout!

You'll be delighted with this simple technique and the art you create in just one weekend!

First class: prepping, decorating, glassing.
Second class: grouting and sealing.

Cost: $140. +$20. materials fee.

Please email/call Susan if you have any questions or to make your reservation. (susan@scmosaics.com)

It's always lots of fun!
