Due to concern about rising COVID-19 rates, this class has been postponed and new date has been scheduled for Tuesday, February 22.
COVID-19 VACCINATION & MASKING REQUIREMENTS
Starting January 1, 2022, all students participating in in-person classes at the ReBuilding Center Education Shop will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test performed within the prior 72 hours. Check out our FAQs & Safety Guidelines for more details.
In addition, masks are required for all students, staff, and volunteers per guidelines announced by the Oregon Health Authority on August 11. Please note: safety glasses are required in most of our classes and wearing a mask with a wire nosepiece will help reduce fogging.
See below for additional health and safety precautions.
Taught by local artist Pam Consear from All Hands Art!
CLASS DESCRIPTION
We’re meeting at the intersection of mosaic and collage in this all-level art workshop. Using a small panel (between 4” - 10”) or a picture frame as a backdrop, you will choose from an imagination-tickling array of reclaimed objects — hardware, ceramic bits, glass and mirror, toy parts, baubles, beads, and who knows what else! — to create your work of art. Learn how to use a quick-drying adhesive and explore how to make your own one-step mosaics at home.
Don't have an art background or feel “creatively challenged”? No worries! The materials and the supportive atmosphere will have you relaxed and experimenting in no time. All materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring a small collection of your own found treasures if you'd like. You may never look at your junk drawer the same way again!
This is a project-based class and you’ll come away with a handmade piece to gift or keep.
Topics covered:
New ways to look at and use found objects
Safe ways to cut or break glass pieces
Arranging and spacing your tile bits into a design
Using silicone adhesive
Cost: $70

ACCESSIBILITY
The ReBuilding Center Education Department works to be accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to students of all skill levels and levels of mobility. Your experience in this class is important to us and we want to prepare in advance the tools and methods that will make all of our students successful.
