2024 Jill Simkins: Mosaic Wall Art

September 28, 2024 @ 1:30 pm 5:00 pm

COST: $20 /  Minimum 10, Maximum of 25 / All ability levels

A mosaic expresses form in basic organic shapes and designs. Hanging on a wall they sparkle and reflect light from the colors of broken glass and tile. This class is for ages 12 and up, minors should be accompanied by an adult. Join me in creating a mosaic in the “Pique Assiette” tradition by using recycled broken plates, ceramic figurines, sparkly costume jewelry, and other found objects. This class will be a fun, innovative and creative experience. We will get our hands messy and we’ll smash and break things!

Jill will provide a 7”x9” board with a wall-mount bracket, plates, tiles, adhesive, grout, and nitrate gloves.

Please bring a pair of safety glasses, hammer, tile nippers (a few will be available to share) an old towel, and a sponge. Also bring miscellaneous plates, tile, broken vases, and ceramic pieces if available, and a sketch of your desired design.

 

Hands on Art Registration

 

Jill is an Organic Vegetable Farmer who creates art in many mediums; using plants and flowers, magical garden paths, oil or water-color paint, clay, and by using recycled, found or worn out items. Living her life working outside in the soil and discovering this beautiful world by hiking, backpacking, catering horse-pack trips in the High Uintah’s, river rafting, or camping in her vintage trailer, has given her a great respect and love for the outdoors, which she attempts to capture on canvas. She especially enjoys painting cows, farm animals, and people.  Her work has been sold in several galleries throughout the West.

She writes about her painting and adventures here.
