| Deco Doll - mosaic on mannequin |
Interested in making a mosaic sculptural mosaic ... either as a slightly 3-D work that can hung as a 2-D art work or a self-standing sculpture?
Lynchburg artist Bonnie Kinnaird is joining me with this class. Her experience working in concrete will be as asset for teaching the creation of armatures for making figures and animals.

| Crimson Rhythms - mosaic over a travel guitar |
Students will work on a simple shape to mosaic each session of this 7-week class. During each session students will take part in demos to create substrates and armatures for different shapes to make a variety of forms and learn to prep ready made forms. What type shapes? They may include: pillows, spheres, ceramic animals, concrete garden critters, free form shapes, mannequins, cones, figures-human or animal. |
| Hard hat mosaic - Work In Progress |
"Earth Layers" in a 9 diameter gazing ball.
A friend gave me the hard hat and asked if there was anything I could do with it. After a long time it may be ready to return soon ... covered with a design inspired by a story.
The lighthouse mosaic is on a wood structure from a local craft store. While wood is not the best substrate for mosaics, if the wood is sealed and the mosaic is kept indoors and away from moisture that will help to avoid problems with warping.
"Thunderbird Tepee" was made using hardware cloth to make the basic shape as it was for "Remnant: Reversible Blue" to the left. This shape is affixed to Hardi backer board and wired for hanging.
The registration information should be on Bower's website very soon. Come join this fun class.
