Mosaic Class!
September 20, 6:30 - 8:30
November 15, 6:30 - 8:30
You bring the ceramics, we’ll provide all other supplies!
Much awaited, much anticipated- we have an answer to the every-potter question: What do I do with the pottery work I no longer love? You turn it into a mosaic!
Join mosaic artist Emily Bhargava to learn how to use imperfect or discarded ceramics to make your own mosaic mirror masterpiece. Emily will teach you how to cut ceramic and will share the basics of mosaic design. The class will include a demonstration of grouting, the final step in creating a mosaic, and you’ll leave with grout to use at home once your mosaic is dry and ready.
Instructor: Emily Bhargava is a Somerville-based artist who works primarily in glass, ceramic and steel, and also incorporates a wide variety of upcycled materials and found objects into her work. She transforms blank walls and empty spaces into colorful, quirky and playful designs that inspire reflection, learning and community ownership. Emily often works at the intersection of art and public health, helping communities utilize the arts as an effective tool for health promotion. She currently serves as the Community Art Director for The Beautiful Stuff Project, a creative reuse center based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and as Director of Connection Lab, LLC, a consulting firm that engages in health promotion and community art interventions. She is also an active teaching artist. She serves as the co-chair of the programming committee of the New England Mosaic Society.
