Join Sonia for a five-day advanced mosaic workshop in Amsterdam at Amphora Mozaiek. The workshop will cover many aspects of mosaic techniques including texture, scale, spacing and reflectivity; achieving effects through varied cutting and laying styles and/or mixed materials; working direct using cement-based adhesive and more. Technically, there will be extensive work on cutting techniques, using various materials, laying styles and more as well as discussions covering a variety of topics including ergonomics, adhesives, substrates, tools, framing, the business of mosaic, etc. It doesn't matter what style class members work in or their preferred materials. Some will choose to explore something new while others will be helped to push their existing style and materials to new places.

Participants will work on projects of their own choosing with lots of individual attention, dealing with issues specific to their own work. However, all class members are invited to participate in the discussions so there is a high level of learning from others in the class. Some prior mosaic experience is recommended. Diverse levels of expertise encourage discussions on a wide variety of topics. Participants can expect to leave the workshop with a great deal of meaty knowledge, that will be useful long after the class ends. Bring your own tools. A substrate and cement-based adhesive will be supplied as well as a limited selection of materials. More materials will be available for purchase. Feel free to bring your own materials. There will be a handout but bring pen and paper for notes.
