Art in the Garden

An introduction to mosaic techniques

Art in the Garden workshop will be held at the Rising Sun Art Academy in the Pendleton Art Center 201 Main Street Rising Sun Indiana August 9 and 16, 10am to 2pm. The class cost is $25.00 plus a $15.00 material cost.

Students will learn the ancient decorative technique of mosaics. We will explore the possibilities of this versatile medium using glass tiles on both two and three dimensional surfaces to create

glistening objects to adorn the garden. The class will focus on the importance of a design plan, color choices and the use of materials that will be durable in an exterior environment.

The projects will include the creation of a 12x12 stepping stone, a flower pot, a sun catcher made form glass block, or a finial that may be used as an architectural element. All materials are included but students may choose to bring an object of their choice for the project. Class size will be limited to twelve students.

This workshop is sponsored by Ohio County Tourism and a grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
