RECEPTION FEATURES THE MUSIC OF SECOND WIND.

They use their mastery of acoustic guitar, bass, banjo and accordion to create an eclectic repertoire of music ranging from

original pieces to folk, bluegrass, country, pop, jazz, and even French and Mexican standards, all beautifully and authentically

performed. They also have a great on-stage demeanor, punctuating songs with brief stories about their origins that are both

educational and very enjoyable.  A perfect fit for our Well Versed reception!

RADICAL DIMENSIONS IN GLASS MOSAIC

Instructor: Kelley Knickerbocker www.rivenworksmosaics.com

RESUME

BIO

Course description:

This workshop invites students to see glass in a whole new way by introducing

them to three "extreme sport" variations of glass-on-glass mosaics:

Texture Field, in which multiple textures of clear and frosted architectural

glass are combined to create a dense, light-distorting field of visual texture;

Flat Stacking, in which stained glass is layered on top of  itself on a mirror substrate

for luminous light diffusion and a 3-D backgrount/foreground effect; and

Edge Stacking, in which clear, opaque, and translucent stained glass strips

of varying heights/lengths are stacked on edge either singly or packed together

so that the often beautifully striated riven edge is the visual focus.

Workshop is a combination of lecture/slideshow, demos, and lots of hands-on

practice.

Students will gain understanding and proficiency by creating a 12" x 12" mosaic

incorporating all three techniques, and will learn to use SpectraLock epoxy grout.

Additional topics covered will be designing for these techniques, efficient cutting

and setting tips, using mirror as a substrate, mixing these techniques with other

media, and appropriate adhesives, tools, and applications.

All supplies, tools and materials will be provided, but students are welcome to

supplement provided glass with glass from their own inventories.

This workshop will be of greatest benefit to mosaic artists who have worked in

glass and are looking for ways to "push the envelope" in how glass can be used

in mosaics.

*Ability to cut glass in straight lines with a straightedge is critical to getting the

most out of this workshop, and unfortunately there's just not time to teach it during

the workshop. A good understanding of basic mosaic principles and vocabulary

will also be helpful.
