*** 2024 JEWELRY PUBLIC WORKSHOPS: February 17, August 24
Join Amy at one of her mosaic jewelry workshops where you will be able to create unique, one-of-a-kind mosaic jewelry with various styles and colors. Mosaic jewelry is the fine art of meticulous placement of tiny mosaic pieces (tesserae) into a bezel or pendant (base) to create images or patterns. The tesserae for jewelry can be anything from beads to stained glass to charms. Each piece of jewelry is a matchless piece of wearable art.
After more than a year of gathering and experimenting with various materials, Amy started creating mosaic jewelry with family and friends. Each piece was beautiful and distinctive. The more they created, the more Amy enjoyed helping others create mosaic jewelry. After more experimentation and videos, she started offering workshops to the public.
At her mosaic jewelry workshops, she offers two methods to create jewelry – Apoxie Sculpt (black or white) and overlapping. Using the Apoxie Sculpt method, guests mix the two parts and press it into the bezel. Then the tesserae is pressed into the Apoxie Sculpt clearing away the access. Using the overlap method, guests fill the bezel with Tacky glue (which is remarkably strong) and press tesserae into the glue, overlapping the pieces so the back of the bezel doesn’t show. At my workshops (and my mosaic jewelry kits), guests have access to:
Bases – silver and antique bronze
