Join Janice Peacock for this exciting class on working small and colorful with micromosaics!

In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of working with micromosaics, including how to slice the glass canes, and secure them into a bezel setting. We'll be using filati, which are pre-made glass components imported from Italy.

The class starts with a demonstration and brief lecture, followed by hands-on work time, so you can get feedback and guidance as you create your miniature masterpiece. By the time class is finished, you'll have completed a mosaic pendant. 

You'll also learn about the various tools and supplies used in micromosaics, and learn how to work with the special design challenges that you'll face working on this scale. 

Techniques covered:

  • Designing a micromosaic pendant
  • Cutting filati into slices 
  • Arranging the filati to create patterns
  • Securing the filati in place
  • Terminology for micromosaics
  • Tools and materials for creating further micromosaics

This course is available as an in person or live online class. Please check this page for times and formats available.

If a class is online, or is a combination online and in-person session, all students receive a link to a recording of the class demonstrations. In-person only workshops are not recorded. For staff instructor classes, students have access to the recordings for one year. For guest instructors, access is 30 days. 

If a kit is included with the class, online students will have them mailed to them. Kits for in-person students are delivered at the beginning of the first class. More information about the kit is included with the supplies list which is emailed after registration.

International students may be charged an additional amount for shipping, because of the increased cost to ship abroad. Also, shipments to other countries may incur a tariff payable by the student. International students are welcome to contact us re: these costs and options for their materials. Please be sure that the address with your payment is the correct one for shipping.

If this class is offered online, it uses the Zoom app/website. Through Zoom, you’ll be able to see demos and follow instructions, ask questions and interact with your instructor. Zoom is easy to use and free for students to use for class, and works on most devices, like phones (iPhone, Android, etc), tablets (iPads, etc), and computers (Mac or PC).

Your instructor is also available during free Zoom office hours for questions and help.

For classes that include work time, online students work at home or in their studio. All of our recommended tools and the kit materials are chosen to be home studio friendly. Links to preferred vendors are provided in the supplies list sent after registration. Some classes, like our short demo only classes, don't require tools or materials to attend. 

We remain committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible while continuing to move forward and adapt to the current circumstances for our in person classes and open studios.

Face masks are encouraged while at the school, but no longer required. Students must bring a particulate face mask (N95, KN95, KF94 or similar) to protect against dust and particles when needed and required during class work time.
