This is the Mosaic Class of your dreams, which will
bring you into the true art world of Mosaics.
Shelby has been a glass artist for about 35 years, She began her art career in New York City doing Commercial Art and after a few years realized that "doing her own thing" was the direction for her to take. She began her fascination with glass by creating custom stained glass windows in California and progressed on to Glass Fusing for about 15 years. Her latest passion lies in creating Glass Mosaics--- doing wall panels in the great Italian Tradition. Shelby has studied and taught in Greece, Italy, Mexico, California and Florida. She is a winner of the very prestigious Corning Glass Museum's New Glass Review.
This is the Mosaic Class of your dreams which will introduce you to the true art of Mosaics. Here you'll learn the traditions of this great art form. You'll learn all the different styles of laying your tiles down the different surfaces and glues that are available and when to use one rather than another. Feel free to bring any special bits that you've collected to add to your piece. If you need a bit of help with your design, Shelby will bring many books for you to get inspiration from. She also will help you with your design if you want her to. This is a very non-competitive and relaxing atmosphere where no experience is needed. Beginners, and those with some experience are welcome to learn in this open, creative atmosphere. It's easy, it's fun, and it's a skill that you'll have forever.
