Mosaic Table
Workshop
For this class you will need a table. You can use a wooden or glass table.
Bring ideas of what you want for the design if you have one or we can help with that.
Bring your hand tools for cutting glass including tweezers and mosaic cutters if you have one. Let me know if you don’t and I will bring extras.
There is lots of scrap glass to use but if you have particular colours or types of glass you should bring them with you.
For the glass on glass in door method, I use Weldbond glue. For outdoor use or wood, I use clear silicone. You can buy them at hardwear stores in the 8 ounce size for ease of use. Get at least one tube depending on the table size.

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. |
