MOSAIC – THE GRAMMAR II: Focus on color & form

28.10. – 1.11.2016, 35 hours, Friday – Monday, 10am – 6pm

In this class, we learn more on what makes a mosaic so interesting and unique: the combination of different materials and the mixing of colours.

In the first theoretical part, you learn how to successfully mix colours and materials and understand different ways of additive and subtractive colour mixing. 

How do I set a colour scale for my project?
How do I combine warm and cold colours?
How can I influence the colour of one material with another?
What influence does the choice of a particular material and its properties have on the rest of my work?
How can I best use the material I have for my project?

We will find answers to those questions in the practical part of this workshop, creating a mosaic in the format 40 x 30 cm, in which you interpret a subject of your choice through the use of different colors and materials. This could be a flower, the structure of a leaf or another detail. I will provide different designs. Who wants to work in 3D and with unusual materials like wood or plastic is invited to do so.

In this workshop, we work with hammer and hardie, the traditional mosaic tool, in direct technique and contemporary style. Choose from different materials like marble, smalts, ceramics and others from my fundus or just bring your own!

A specialty in this workshop is the way we fill the background of the central motif. We will use a leveling compound that will also build the frame of the work.
