#We Teach Glass
INTRODUCTION TO MOSAICS
Learn mosaics with Alicia! Alicia graduated from Northwestern with a Master’s in Fine Arts. Mosaics was one of her classes. She’s a great teacher and has taught mosaics at Ed’s Emporium for many years. Take up this versatile, easy-to-learn ancient art of painting with glass, ceramics, metals and pottery pieces to create a design that is uniquely your own. Alicia will guide you through the first steps of how to make a 4 inch tile, then teach more complex techniques as the class progresses. Glass on glass and glass on Wedi Board.
