Mosaic Mural Intensive - Day 2,3

On Days 2 & 3 (Tues, Wed). We learned more cutting and setting techniques. We are using lots of high fire McIntyre tiles, and some fused dichroic glass. The second day was spent setting most of the flowers and leaves. The third day we finished off the flowers, and set the background and border areas. In setting the background we learned the difference between mixing (colors random) and blending (colors gradient).


Some students concentrated on one section, and others moved between sections. Some students used gel gloves to help ease the pressure on the hands from carving and nipping the tiles.
