This workshop will start with information on the techniques used by several artists in Albuquerque for creating mosaic mural walls, including the one Leah made for her own backyard. We will discuss the pros and cons of various methods.

The 2 sessions will be hands-on, in-person. We will demonstrate one common indirect method and then deep dive into another. Each participant will plan and create a figure on foam/mortar board (up to 2’ x 2’), then cut out the figure and prepare it for mosaic.Then, you will apply tesserae of ceramic tile, broken dishes, found objects or items you bring to use or share.

Your mosaic will be ready to hang and grout on your outdoor wall as a single piece or as the start of your larger mural.
