Washi Mosaic Workshop

 

POST COVID NOTE: I realize that the threat from COVID is substantially less now than it was when I stopped doing workshops in 2020. Because we will be spending the entire day together, and due to my own health concerns, I will be supply and requiring that workshop attendees property wear masks (ie, the nose and mouth is completely covered while in the studio; surgical or N95 type masks will be provided). I am still evaluating how the lunch offering will be presented, and as I get clear on that, I will let attendees know. Please be sure that you will be comfortable wearing a mask for the duration of the workshop.

Join me in my Santa Rosa studio for one of my day-long (10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.) Washi Mosaic workshops. Participants use the same tools & materials I use to create their own mosaics. They leave with a completed mosaic bearing their signature. We focus on the mosaic style pictured to the right. To see examples of work other workshop participants completed. please see my page from the very first mosaic workshop on April 27, 2013.

You are also welcome to join me for a complimentary salad bar lunch at noon & to enjoy complimentary snacks, iced tea & filtered water throughout the day. NOTE: the lunch offering may be changed; those who sign up will be notified of any changes.

The cost for the workshop is $150, & it includes everything necessary to make & frame the mosaic in a black 11×14” frame. All the tools you need will be available for you to use, & there will be something extra that will be a lot of fun, too.

I will also be selling some of my papers in sizes of approximately 8 x 10″ ($3.29 per sheet).

The workshops will generally follow the following format:

  • 10:00:  Arrive and get settled
  • 10:10:   Introductions
  • 10:15:   Overview of the mosaic process
  • 10:20:  Paper selection & practice
  • 10:30:  The mosaic process begins!
  • 12:00:  Break for lunch
  • 12:45 – 3:45:  continue working on mosaic
  • 4:00:   Mosaic complete and ready to finish
  • 4:00 – 5:00:  sealing the mosaic and framing

The timeframe is flexible, & some participants/artists may well finish before 5:00. That’s fine – we can move to the finishing steps when you are ready. I do frame the works in the order in which they are completed, so you should plan to be present from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
