Update to "About Face: Mosaic Masks" Class
The "About Face: Mosaic Masks" class turned out to require a lot more work and time than any of us expected. Indeed, it was not until teaching this class that I truly comprehended how complex and challenging my mask mosaics really are. But the results are well worth the extra time and effort, and the mask mosaics my students created are stunning. (I think mine turned out well, too, even if I do say so myself).

ABOUT FACE: MOSAIC MASKS
A Five Day Advanced Mosaic Series:
- Create a plaster mask of your own face
- Use your plaster mask to make an intricate mosaic mask
- Learn techniques to make your mosaics 3 dimensional
Making your own personal mask can be a uniquely insightful exploration of the faces you show (and don't show) the rest of the world, and an empowering experience as well—all the more so in a mosaic process. In this class, students will make plaster masks of their own faces, and then use those masks as a base for a personal mosaic. This class will require a significant amount of work at home outside of class hours, and is for experienced mosaic artists only (students should have taken at least two previous mosaic classes.) Bring your own bag lunch. Healthy snacks provided.
