Classes
I teach a variety of mosaic classes throughout the year. Please click
here for the current schedule. Below you will find course offerings
and descriptions. If you have any questions, or would like to register
for a course, please email me.
I am also available for community workshops, both in and
outside of Edmonton, as well as artist residencies in schools.
All classes are located at Margo's home based studio in Bonnie Doon.
Mosaic Tabletops: the Indirect Direct Method
|
|
|
In this intermediate course, participants will mosaic a table top of your choosing, while learning the
indirect method of mosaic making, which produces a smooth surface. Students are required to bring
their tabletops to the first and last class.
Please contact me to determine the suitability of the table you wish to use. Table tops chosen should
be smaller than 16" by 16". If you prefer to do all your work in class time, I advise you to choose a
small table top. A previous mosaic course or other similar experience will be necessary.
