Instructor: Lisa
Class: Stained Glass Mosaic Mirror

The class offers students the opportunity to make an 11” x 14” glass mosaic mirror. The finished product will be suitable for hanging indoors! The first and second class periods will be geared toward design and creation. The third class period will focus on grouting and finishing the piece.
Students, regardless of experience with mosaic-making, will be provided instruction and guidance throughout the processes of creating and grouting a stained glass mosaic piece using the tools and supplies provided by Cricket Mosaics and Three Rivers Art Glass. In the class, we will cover concepts such as glass cutting and nipping, adhesives, mosaic techniques, and grouting.
A full description of items needed for class is here: Three Rivers Art Glass - Mirror Supply List
The following items are to be supplied by each Student
Goggles or eye protection. I always suggest wearing goggles during cutting/nipping and when using the grinder.. There is always a chance of flying glass! If you wear glasses on a regular basis, you won’t need goggles. If you don’t have any, I will have a few extra pairs to share.
Closed-toe shoes. Glass shards and bare feet don’t mix!
These items will be supplied by Cricket Mosaics and Three Rivers Art Glass (included in the class price):
Glass cutting tools. Nippers, grozing pliers, running pliers, hand files, and glass cutters are all available for your use during the class. A grinder is also available in the studio..
Stained glass. I have a large variety of broken pieces of glass, as well as some full sheets. If there is something you KNOW you will want, I may be able to get specific colors, etc.
Adhesives. Everyone will have their own!
Grout. There will be a light-colored neutral grout and a dark-colored neutral grout to choose from.
