Description

“Of greatest use to beginners. The dozen projects will introduce first-time mosaicists to the art without…frustration.”—Booklist

“You’ll never take a look at a shard of glass in the similar way again.”—Glass Craftsman

Innovative techniques, in tandem with striking and original designs, will make you revel within the creative pleasure of fashioning beautiful mosaics. An overview covers four basic mosaic methods: pique assiette, which uses fragments from plates, mugs, and photographs; direct (just lay it down and glue); indirect, where the work is completed on a temporary surface before being cemented; and three dimensional applications. Magically turn out to be on a regular basis objects into art by replacing a typical kitchen counter with one covered in fragments of stone, glass, and pottery, or turning a easy lamp into a finely crafted sculpture. For added inspiration, 50 artists provide invaluable hints and tricks of the trade.
