Mosaic workshop in V Street, DC

Published by gertrud

Last week Andrea, Kathy, Smruti and Mark gathered for 3 nights at MosaicMoments Studio in V Street to make their first mosaics. For them it was an endeavor: practicing breaking glass tiles, setting mosaic pieces in a very particular order and using line and color to create a simple geometric mosaic design. It was fun, it was hard, it was meditative, it made time fly … In the end happiness prevailed over achiement of self created mosaics and time well spent with like minded people.

What’s going on @ MosaicMoments studio?

I’m am super happy that 5 mosaic projects were realized during the summer in the studio. The first project: two door signs for my apartment and studio in Berlin. I opted for natural stone as material. The stairwell in Berlin, where my studio is located, has a marble floor, which I repeat with similar material in the background of the door signs. The letters are made of dark green granite. I design the cartoons myself and have fun drawing them by hand. I value the time I can be together with other people in the studio. Sabine made this mosaic for herself in 4 sessions. I am happy we spent a relaxed but creative time together. Finally I bought a flex and tried it cutting large tile to size.
