“I loved class, Michael, and enjoyed you so much. My brain is on fire with ideas. Yours is the best class I've taken and I've taken quite a few. I love all I learned and can hardly wait to dive in.”
“I thought the class was excellent, very clear and well presented. Your understanding and respect for this tradition is inspiring and your talent for this technique is really quite extraordinary. Your feedback on each step of the project was invaluable! And then, of course, you are a delight to be with!”
The fine art of mosaic is enjoying a renaissance. Mosaics are making a comeback as traditional and contemporary artists all over the world are rediscovering ancient techniques and stretching those to new and modern expressions.
I invite you to explore this timeless art-form by studying classical principles and techniques handed down through the centuries by mosaic masters.
From these ancient core techniques the student/artist develops a solid, yet ever-expanding knowledge from which to move forward into more contemporary applications if they choose.
I hope to welcome you to one of my classes or workshops in this marvelous and meticulous art-form.
