Mosaic Stepping Stone with Judy Vazquez

This Mother’s Day create something that will be enjoyed for years to come. Join Judy Vazquez at The Local Art Gallery on Sunday, May 11 from 1-4pm to make a Mosaic Stepping Stone.

Have fun experiencing the freedom and joy of mosaics as you create a piece of art for your outdoor or indoor sacred space. Through various techniques participants will learn the direct technique of applying various styles, colors and tesserae (stones, ceramics, beads, words, glass and tiles) and how to grout to assure a long life for your art.

Each participant will use precut tesserae on cement to make a piece unique to your individual creativity and vision. Choices for the base are either a 6 or 10 inch circle. Instruction will be provided via demos, hands on creating, and one on one guidance. Judy will help you with the development of design ideas in a safe, supportive environment. Learn how a mosaic piece can evolve - there are no mistakes, only opportunities in this medium! Participants will leave the class with a finished piece for outside or indoor beauty.

$35, all materials included. Ages 6+ with adult accompaniment. Be sure to wear clothing that may get grout or glue on it. All can be washed out.
