Mosaic Frame Workshop with Artist-in-Residence Ellie Braun
Taking inspiration from the midwest tradition of grottos, participants will have a selection of bits and bobs to choose from and will create a unique picture frame. You are welcome to bring your own small items to include in your piece. Broken ceramics, beads, buttons, bottle tops, and other small trinkets are ideal for this project.
Both mosaic frame workshops (9/8 & 9/15) are the same content and are in high demand; please select only one session date. This 2-hour workshop is ideal for older teens 16+ and adults. Space is limited and registration is required, opens two weeks prior to the workshop. If full, call Pinney Library information desk at 608-224-7100 to be placed on a short waiting list in case of cancellations.
