Still looking for the perfect mosaic workshop for this year?\u00a0This could be interesting for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with Ruth Minola Scheibler you already know from an interview here on mused<\/a> and through her\u00a0activities with the artist collective\u00a0MOSAIZM<\/em>, I will give\u00a0two workshops in September in Cologne, Germany!<\/p>\n

The workshops\u00a0are directed both to professionals who want to refine\u00a0their technique\u00a0and to enthusiastic beginners with basic artistic experience.\u00a0You will obtain valuable knowledge based on the tradition of Italian masters and the history of mosaics, complemented by the latest insights, tips & tricks from the schools of contemporary mosaic.<\/p>\n

MOSAIC – THE ABC: Focus on Andamenti & Tools<\/h4>\n
31.8. \u2013 4.9.2015, 40 hours, Monday \u2013 Friday, 9am \u2013 18pm<\/h5>\n

ANDAMENTI. The decomposition of the original\u00a0motif\u00a0into its guidelines. The andamenti<\/em>\u00a0are the heartbeat of each mosaic, its rhythm, the essential first step in planning a new project. They are very different for each style, follow precise, proven rules that are\u00a0fundamental for a harmonious overall expression of the work. Through them, we create volume, perspective, movement or even the very personal touch.<\/p>\n

What distinguishes the various andamento<\/em> styles \u2013 Roman, Byzantine, classic and modern?<\/strong>
\nHow can I use them to achieve different\u00a0effects for my mosaic?<\/strong>
\nHow do I determine the size and shape of the tesserae<\/em> and why?<\/strong>
\nWhat role do the joints play?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will find answers to those questions\u00a0guiding you through\u00a0an illustrated theoretical part and associated practical exercises in drawing and placing in direct technique. Through\u00a0valuable exercises with\u00a0hammer and hardie\u00a0and different materials, we show you how unexpectedly precise a variety of shapes can be made\u00a0with this\u00a0coarse-looking tool.<\/p>\n

In the practical part, you\u00a0have the opportunity to choose a particular andamento<\/em> style\u00a0and implement\u00a0a\u00a0work\u00a0in 30 x\u00a030 cm with the material of your\u00a0choice. You can\u00a0choose from\u00a0marble, smalts, industrial glass, ceramics and other materials from our fundus or just bring what\u00a0you have at home.\u00a0We will provide different designs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MOSAIC – THE GRAMMAR: Focus on Color & Material<\/h4>\n
7.9. \u2013 11.9.2015, 40 hours, Monday \u2013 Friday, 9am \u2013 18pm<\/h5>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In the first theoretical part, we show you how to successfully mix colours and materials and explain different ways of additive and subtractive colour mixing. An excursion covers the rules in the compilation of skin colours in mosaic portrait making.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I set a colour scale for my project?
\n<\/strong>How do I combine warm and cold colours?
\nHow can I influence the colour of one material with another?
\nWhat influence does the choice of a particular material and its properties have on the rest of my work?
\n<\/strong>How can I best use the material I have for my project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will find answers to those questions in the practical part of this workshop,\u00a0creating\u00a0a series of 3 mosaics in the format 15 x 15 cm, in which you interpret a subject of your choice through the use of different colors and \/ or materials. This could be\u00a0a detail of a portrait,\u00a0the structure of a leaf or another detail. We will provide different designs.<\/p>\n

In this workshop, we\u00a0work with hammer and hardie, the traditional mosaic tool, in direct technique and contemporary style. Choose from different materials like\u00a0marble,\u00a0smalts, ceramics\u00a0and others from our fundus or just bring your own!<\/p>\n
