Roman Borders: Geometric Patterns from the Roman Baths with Lillian SizemoreJUNE 16-17*or AUGUST 11-12
2 days: Sat. 10-4 and Sun. 10-2
$195 plus $40 materials.
*registration for the June class closes on Wed., June 4th, so enroll NOW.
Geometric borders are a great way to acquaint yourself with the early mosaic traditions and learn the basics of working with stone. We will create a Roman repeat pattern in marble tesserae. You will learn techniques for working with stone, tips on how to grout stone, and learn how to create linear patterns for use in bathrooms, kitchens, floors, or as picture or mirror frames. Everyone will leave with a finished piece.
The Roman Border course is great for beginners because there is no cutting required! It may appeal to people who want to work with marble, but are worried they don't have the hand strength to cut or nip stone...you can still create an amazing mosaic.
Also, June 16-17 is Father's Day, why not give the class as a gift for DAD or do a family thing! When I taught this class at the Getty Villa a lot of men took this class and loved it! I even had a 6-yr-old come and do it with her mom! Think of it as your Roman Holiday – dress like Audrey Hepburn (or Gregory Peck) and come make a fantastic piece of art.
This Class will be held at the Institute of Mosaic Art in Oakland, CA Register and Learn more at: http://instituteofmosaicart.com/class_va_size_r.html
