In the Studio

This will be a quick one this week. Some personal challenges have taken up a lot of time lately and will for the next month to come, so these could be sporadic at best.

However, today, I can share some photos from the class I taught on Wednesday evening. A great group: a Mom and her two children and a Mom and her daughter. It was an awesome class and the first one for me involving children. I LOVED IT!!

Next week we’ll get together to finish their coasters with grout and sealer. I have to do more classes with children, it was so much fun to watch them create fish, cats, dragons, etc. with basically 4 or 5 different colors in glass. They rocked!!

The biggest news this week is over at Etsy where my shop is taking part in their “First Friday Art Walk”. Go to http://www.etsy.com and type in the words “firstfridayartwalk” in the search area and you can find thousands of items along with all of my own from EarthMotherMosaics.

I have been working on a bird sculpture which is now ready for grout. It’s raining today and I’m feeling it in my bones which means I won’t be doing much with mosaics today but I can share the photos here of the work-in-progress.

I started with a broken stem from a wine glass, a white bisque ceramic sphere, stained glass and pieces of a broken mirror, a white porcelain bird (on sale at my local craft store) and an old blue and white glass marble.

The final result is a small table statue that reflects like. Once grouted this will go with me when I give a presentation about mosaics and my business at the Greater Norristown Art League on April 10th. A few other pieces will also be with me that are completed and progressive works. I believe they will give a good idea as to the way I progress through each phase. All will be shared and discussed. I’m truly looking forward to it.

Have fun, stay safe and always enjoy the moments.
