We will begin with a description of common mosaic tools available and the function of each. We will then explain the differences between types of materials used such as substrates, types of adhesives, and types of glass such as beads, smalti, ceramic tiles, china, etc. Finally we will learn how to create your pattern and glue everything into place followed by demonstrating final detail techniques. There's always plenty of room at the demo. See you there!
