 Mixed Media Mosaics and Portraits 

Week 1: August 3-9
​Instructor: Monica Currie-Johnson
Class Material Fee: $120 (adjusted if stained glass is not used)

About the Workshop

This class is designed to fit each student's skill level and interests. We will explore mixed media, stylized portraits and abstracts on a 16x20” substrate. Before the class starts, I will meet each student via Zoom to plan the project and build a needed materials list (this is required, thank you!). I will prepare the graphics and mounting prior to the class. Daily short lectures will cover basic topics and tips. The majority of the class will be hands on experience creating a beautiful mosaic artwork.
