Mandala Mosaic Workshop with Mark Brody
Mandalas are a naturally occurring design that shows growth, connection and wholeness. It is also the perfect format to lay out color, shape and pattern in your next mosaic. Guest artist and author Mark Brody will bring all the tools and materials for you to complete your own 15” glass mosaic mandala for interior or garden placement. In this class you will learn basic ideas of radial symmetry and use them in your own personalized glass mosaic. Mark will teach basic glass cutting techniques as well as specialized pattern-cutting skills to make this a lasting mosaic that can be placed indoors or out in the garden. Work on a light-weight, weather-resistant board that will be cut in a 15” circle.
A mandala is a multi-cultural design which uses the circle to show the connection of all the pieces. The design uses concentric circles to radiate outward or focus inward, and is a perfect format to learn to mosaic because the design has a natural flow and symmetry to it. Mark will go over the many different methods and materials of mosaic so that you will be able to start your next one on your own.
