Learn the historical art of creating intricate jewelry using tiny tesserae of multiple kinds. This hands-on course will teach you how to cut materials, use them effectively in a design, and set them into metal bezels. You will leave with a finished, wearable artpiece of your own design.
Class topics:
* The history of the micro mosaic
* How to design a graphic micro mosaic using paper and colored pencils.
* How to cut micro mosaic materials: smalti, filati, millefiori, beads, and mini tiles.
* How to use specialized adhesives to attractively set your tesserae
No prior experience is necessary, and all tools and materials are provided.
Tweezers are necessary for this method and will be provided. If you have a favorite pair (like I do!) it would be good to bring it to class.
Also, there will be close up work so if you need visual assistance tools these would be helpful as well.
