Join me in my Santa Rosa studio for one of my day-long Washi Mosaic workshops, from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.

My goal for each guest artist is that they step into a working artist’s studio and assume the role of artist for the day. Each guest artist has his/her own creative station furnished with all the tools I use, and has their choice of working with over 400 differently colored and patterned washi papers (NOTE: not all of the papers in my collection are available for use).

Weather and Finishing
I hold more workshops during the warmer months of the year because moist air has a significant effect on the finish odor and drying time. In the event of rain, fog or really moist air, participants will leave the workshop with their frame and mat, and leave their artwork behind. I will spray the finish later, when the rain/fog/moisture has abated. Participants have the option of scheduling a time to come back to pick up their work, or pay a $6.00 fee to have it mailed back to them.

Lunch and Refreshments
You are also welcome to join me for a complimentary vegetarian pizza-and-nibbles luncheon and to enjoy complimentary snacks and filtered water throughout the day.

If anyone would prefer a more spacious lunch experience, I can stagger lunch times in two groups. Weather permitting, participants are welcome to sit outside as well.

Workshop Cost and Materials

I offer a discounted workshop rate of $159 for payments by cash or check; the fee for other forms of payments is $165. The cost includes everything necessary to make and frame the mosaic in a black 11×14” frame. All the tools you need will be available for you to use.

Payment is due within one week of registration to secure a place in the workshop.

I will also have some of my papers available for purchase sized at approximately 8 x 10″ ($3.29 per sheet).

How The Day Unfolds

The workshops will generally follow the following format:

• 10:00:  Arrive and get settled
• 10:05:   Introductions & overview of the mosaic process
• 10:40:  Paper selection & practice
• 10:45:  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, and 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.
