SUMMARY:Ceramics`- Make Your Own Mosaic Pieces Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Make Your Own Mosaic Pieces Workshop\n\nWhat if you could create your own mosaic pieces?  Each student will work with clay to create and paint thin tiles appropriate for mosaics. Instead of relying on commercial materials\, students will learn how to design and make custom ceramic components that reflect their own ideas\, stories\, colors\, and textures.\n\nParticipants will be introduced to the basics of glazing bisque ceramic tiles as well as hand-forming clay tiles using a variety of decorative and surface design techniques. Through carving\, texture\, stamps\, layering\, words\, imagery\, and colorful glazes\, students will create original mosaic elements that cannot be found anywhere else. The workshop embraces the playful "make and break" spirit of ceramics\, encouraging experimentation with scraps\, broken pieces\, and unexpected combinations.\n\nThis workshop opens the door to unlimited creative possibilities. Students might create pieces for a family portrait mosaic\, a decorative garden installation\, a backsplash\, house sign\, stepping stone with poetry or meaningful sayings\, candle holders\, vases\, birdbaths\, gazing ball surrounds\, or expressive wall art. The process invites storytelling\, memory\, and personal symbolism into the work while building confidence in ceramic and mosaic techniques.\n\nThis one of a kind workshop offers a unique opportunity in the arts district of the Acadia region to explore the creative possibilities of handmade ceramic mosaics.   6/12/2026.  5:30-7:30\n\nPair this workshop with an ArtWaves membership and continue your mosaic journey during open studio time\, where mosaic glass and shared materials are available for ongoing projects and experimentation.\n\nArtWaves is offering a Mosaic Makers Special- combining the Intro to Mosaics class \, a membership and the Make and Break  ceramics. Become part of the growing ArtWaves mosaic community   a welcoming group of makers sharing ideas\, inspiration\, techniques\, and creative energy together.\n\nSusan Keller has been a ceramic artist for 25 years. Her focus is on hand building functional wares such as dinnerware\, lighting\, jewelry\, wall pieces and tiles. She participates in online sales\, retail shop partnerships\, art fairs\, gallery shows and public installations. Her ceramics have been featured in several periodicals as well as ceramic technique books. Surface design and use of color are emphasized. Her latest work is in black stoneware clay with porcelain interiors and botanical designs.
