  • Wednesdays, September 23 – December 2, 7 – 9:30 – Mosaics in the Garden

    Brookline Adult and Community Education offers a class in the Unified Arts Building.  You may register online – www.brooklineadulted.org – or by telephone – 617-730-2700.

    Mosaic, an art form which involves fitting colorful and vibrant tiles or pieces of broken pottery together, can add a splash of interest to any setting. Flowerpots, birdbaths, windows, tables, and even old bicycles can act as a base for unique mosaic pieces. After introducing you to a variety of mosaic options, you’ll work on a project that will allow you to experiment with different mosaic styles. You’ll gain experience and confidence as you learn about preparation techniques, materials and tools, and work-area strategies. You’ll also learn about framing your work, and how to hang or display works, while keeping weather considerations in mind. You’ll then move on to more complicated projects of your choice. A materials-for-all fee of $25 is included in the course fee. A list of additional supplies will be sent upon registration.
