Watauga Arts Council

Ready to transform your mosaics from good enough to WOW?

In this immersive class, you'll unlock the design secrets that separate stunning, gallery-worthy pieces from the ordinary.

Through guided exploration, you'll discover Andamento: the invisible skeleton that breathes life, movement, and soul into mosaic work. You'll learn how master mosaic artists orchestrate shape, color, and texture to lead the eye, create emotion, and tell a story, and then you'll learn exactly when (and how) to break those rules.

Expect rich visual inspiration, lively discussion, and hands-on exercises. The principles you take home will elevate every piece you create from this day forward, and is a highly recommended prerequisite for this summer's future classes - (garden leaves, outdoor totems, gazing balls, and ‘You are Here/NC’ signage project.)

Please feel free to contact the instructor, Cindy Michaud, with any questions: cmichaud53@icloud.com

Note: This class is offered twice, morning and evening, to suit all schedules. No finished mosaic is created in this session; instead, you'll build the design fluency that makes every future piece stronger.

Please bring:

• Your questions!
• Paper and pen for notes.
• Tile cutting tools if you own.
• Phone camera if owned.
