This is an intensive, six-day course in which students will execute and install a large-scale ceramic tile mosaic mural. Students will learn to design for specific wall spaces and locations, how to decide on materials and installation techniques and procedures, how to transfer a scale drawing to the wall or substrate and how to execute, install and grout a large scale mural project.
Course will cover on-site setting techniques, use of fiberglass mesh, sectioning out and coding a mosaic mural, planning a design and setting the mosaic itself. The class will work as a team to create a mural, setting individual sections onto mesh and applying these pre-set sections to the wall surface.
Some mosaic experience is required for this course, as we will be setting large areas of mosaic right away. Class meets every day except Friday.
Students will learn all aspects of mosaic mural making and will be part of a team that installs a large scale, permanent mural.
