This workshop explores the rich, colorful, traditional handmade glass material called smalti, a Byzantine glass that has been used in the great cathedrals of Italy for centuries.

In this 4 hour workshop you will learn about all things smalti! We will make a mosaic in the direct method, learn how to use B cuts and larger pieces of smalti to add interest to your work. I will demonstrate the use of the hardie and hammer to shape and texture these larger pieces of smalti. We will focus on cutting and laying smalti following the rules for creating a good line. We will use thinset mortar and play with different ways to set smalti. A choice of simple patterns will be provided. Class is from 9:00AM-1PM In my Rockport MA Studio
