Fall to Pieces Mosaics

NOTE: The mosaic shown in the picture here is a student's work from a previous class. Your child will have free rein in designing his/her own piece.

OVERVIEW. This class is suitable for children ages 7-12. Students will use mosaic materials to decorate a 9x11 wooden picture frame with a 4-1/4" x 6-1/2" opening.

PRICING OPTIONS: The finished frame can be used ungrouted and taken home by the student after class, or 2) the student can opt to have the instructor grout the frame following class and/or glue a mirror into the frame. The latter options involve additional charges to the base class price and can be selected at registration. Also, if siblings enroll in the same class, $10 will be refunded from the base cost for each sibling.

PROJECT DETAILS. The frame used in this class is suitable for tabletop use or wall display. Students will have wide leeway in design, choosing their preferred colors and materials. They will design their frames with mosaic materials following instructor guidelines. Available materials will include ceramic tiles, glass tiles, mirror pieces, metal findings, beads, and precut stained glass. For safety, the instructor will do any necessary cutting or shaping of materials, and students will not be exposed to sharp glass chips or shards.

CLASS SESSIONS: Each class will consist of a two-hour session. If students need a little less time or a little more time to finish, they will be accommodated.

WHAT IS PROVIDED: 1) All supplies and tools (frame, mosaic materials, adhesive, aprons, latex gloves, etc.), and 2) guidance and assistance from the instructor. If selected at registration, the instructor will grout the mosaic following class and/or glue in a mirror.

WHAT TO BRING: 1) Covered water bottle (if desired), and 2) clothes you don't mind getting stained with glue or grout.

PRIVATE CLASSES can be scheduled for 6-8 kids for birthday parties or a group of friends. Text Barb at 406-671-9605 to inquire.
