The Green Street Arts Center of Wesleyan University would like to welcome you to participate in our Greening Green Street Mosaic Project by taking a mosaic class taught by nationally known pebble mosaicist Debora Aldo.
We will be hosting several afternoon mosaic workshops this spring. These are the dates, stay tuned for more details.
Wednesday, February 19 from 5:00-8:00pm (Make+Take)
Saturday, February 22 from 1:00-5:00pm (Make+Leave)
Saturday, March 29 from 1:00-4:00pm (Make+Take)
Make+Leave Workshop — Come to the Green Street Art Center and learn how to make a pebble mosaic in this 4-hour workshop. You will make a black and white pebble mosaic that will become part of a permanent installation in the front Green Street garden – a space for youth education programs and community gathering. The mosaic stays but you take the knowledge of the process with you so that you can make another at your own pace in your own space! The cost of the class is normally $140 with Deb, but you pay only $65 to be a part of this community project.
Make+Take Workshop — You can come and make a small craft style mosaic during a 3-hour mini-workshop using stone, glass and ceramic and mortar. All materials are provided and you will bring the project home. This is a basic mosaic class, no experience needed. There is an explanation of cutting and fitting of materials. Simple designs, basic instruction and small substrates are provided. The cost of this class is $65.
If the classes sound great but you would rather just donate to the project and leave the mosaic making to the Green Street AfterSchool students, you can Sponsor an AfterSchool Student’s Mosaic.
Workshop fees help us purchase materials for the AfterSchool portion of the Greening Green Street Mosaic Project.
Call or email Green Street today at 860-685-7871 or gsac@wesleyan.edu to sign up for a mosaic workshop.
