Mosaic Feather
Workshop
is full
We will be creating a 12"-15” mosaic feather on a wood base. The feather will have an abstract design and a variety of colored glass will be available to use. In addition, we will be using some interesting inclusions such as beads, puddles, chain, murrini. You can also bring some little earrings ( maybe something that is missing a pair) or a special piece of jewelry to be included in the design.
The feather will have a hook on the back to hang it on your wall.
The mosaic feathers will be built on the first Saturday and grouted the following Sunday.
Our project will be similar to the mosaic feathers shown from Jane Aronhalt's Etsy site.

I always have enjoyed different art mediums since a young child. I have been working with glass since 1988. With a buiness partner we owned and operated Artistic Touch of Glass (a stained glass supply and teaching studio) from 1992 until the end of 2012. In 2005 I started teaching weekend workshops in the USCAD program twice a year until 2015. This year, 2018, I will again start teaching with them. In 2009 I completed the USCAD program and received my Certificate of Art and Design. I have been in art shows at St. Thomas Moore Gallery as instructor and as a student. I have also been shown as a feature artist at both Rosthern's Station Place Gallery and The Mendel Art Gallery gift shop. Since 1992, I have participated in the Saskatoon Glassworker’s Guild exhibition called “GlassArt”. The traditional methods of working with stained glass is still my main interest. I find making windows and lamps that are done in lead or foil work enjoyable. I also like the painting on glass method which lets me add detail to designs. Since my retirement I still work in glass and when someone wants to learn these methods I still enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience in my home studio so I keep some basic supplies on hand. |
