Sculptural Mosaics with Caitlin Hepworth

Mosaic Arts Online is delighted to share with you one of the best in sculptural mosaic art. Caitlin Hepworth brings her years of experience as not only a sculptor and visual arts educator but her amazing talent and skills as a mosaic artist as well. This online course provides a comprehensive step by step introduction to making sculptural mosaics. Caitlin teaches you to go beyond the skills needed to mosaic on a three-dimensional object (such as a pot or pre-made form) and takes you through the process of making your own custom designed sculptural form that communicates something to you. Through this course, you begin to understand the important relationship between the form and the mosaic that is applied to it. We start by looking for inspiration and look to the natural world and poetry for our ideas. Caitlin then shows you simple drawing techniques to work through various representations of your idea in pencil. From here we move into three dimensions investigating possibilities through two separate models. These models are photographed and evaluated before being scaled up to the final size. From here we build and strengthen our substrate, and while it cures we spend a significant component of the course looking at design elements such as colour and value. We create a colour palette and value scale with our chosen tesserae as well as examine which thinset colours work best for the colour palette. We also take a basic look at andamento and how to plan and explore different andamento ideas on paper including sdoppiamento (line splitting). These investigative planning methods become valuable tools for going forward into all forms of mosaic art. Once your substrate is cured Caitlin guides you through processes and decisions involved in making your mosaic. Colour choice, tesserae choice, evaluation, edging, finishing, cleaning and more. This course provides a comprehensive scaffold for you to follow and apply to a multitude of mosaic projects. It offers a combination of valuable techniques as well as allowing room for individual creative expression and extension to mosaic artists with a variety of experience. Our bonus section includes faceting smalti using the hammer and hardie for the purpose of creating textured inclusions in your mosaic. This course comes with a very detailed downloadable PDF with all the tools, materials and resources for you to get started on your sculptural mosaic. https://mosaicartsonline.com/p/sculpt...
