Mosaic Memory Dresses

Blue Moon Glassworks is pleased to announce an exciting workshop with world-renowned mosaic artist Susan Wechsler of Boulder, Colorado. Susan's popular Mosaic Dress Workshop will be held in Austin, TX for the very first time in 2015. This is a unique opportunity to create your own version of her stunning mosaic dress designs.
This mosaic dress workshop includes 4 days of instruction, a selection of mosaic glues that Susan uses, all your grouting materials and the EXCLUSIVE dress form that Susan uses for her own signature pieces. This form cannot be found anywhere else: it is made specifically for Susan.
Susan will work individually with every student via email, Facetime or Skype to discuss their vision, inspirations and palette before the workshop to ensure that they bring everything they will need to complete a mosaic dress.
NOTE: there is not a generic list of supplies for this workshop because each mosaic dress is unique.
Each student will supply their own palette which will consist of a mixed media collection of discarded treasures, small tiles for trim and stained glass for filler.

My years as a New York City costume designer taught me how to use colors, patterns and textures to tell compelling stories that evoke different times and places throughout history. What is most unique about my mosaic style is that I honor the integrity and history of each piece of china by carefully cutting and then placing the patterns back together. My true creative desire is to inspire through the unique telling of spiritual stories. --Susan Wechsler

From Susan:
Day One
On the first day of class I will tell you my stories about my art journey, where I started and how I got here. And then demonstrate some basic techniques that you will use throughout the workshop. You will layout your plan for your dresses & then I will work individually with each student, designing the direction of your piece.
Day Two
By now, you have begun your journey. Even though we have made a plan for your piece, the magic of mosaics is in the discovery of your palette and how to utilize it best.
Day Three
On the third day your design will be set and you will have a clear vision of where your piece is heading. At this point my job is to keep you on point so that you can complete the mosaic layer of your dress.
Day Four
On the last day will be devoted to grouting and finishing. We will discuss and I will show you how to use grout, how I choose my color grout and how to add your more delicate pieces.
You will take home a completed mosaic dress!
