Recycled Art

Instructor: Leann Jestis

Learn to use what’s around you to create imaginative, inspiring mosaic artwork! In five one-hour sessions, students will create a beautiful mosaic piece using reclaimed, salvaged, found and recycled materials. Artists are working more and more with recycled and reclaimed materials, and in this time in our world it is important to find uses for what is around us. Using collected materials, castoffs, and what many consider to be “waste” is an earth–friendly, green way to approach art making. Mosaic is the perfect technique through which to explore combinations of different media. Technical construction methods will be covered, including how to correctly prepare a surface to receive mosaic, what adhesives to use for specific materials and how to grout and/or finish a mosaic so that it will last. Each student will design and create a unique piece of mosaic artwork to take home. Recycled substrates will be provided students can bring their own collections. There are many options for materials available: ceramic tile, dishes and pottery, metal objects and hardware, bottle caps, sea glass or shells, buttons, and CDs. The first class will be spent planning and designing. When signing up for the class, let us know if you have an idea of the type of materials or project you would like to attempt!
