Create a personal and one-of-a-kind memory vessel after the tradition of American Folk Art.
Pique Assiette is the age-old technique of creating mosaic and assemblage
out of shards of broken pottery, crockery and dishes. Literally translated from French as "stolen
plates", pique assiette is a process of making mosaics that allows us to include found objects from
our environment as well as more traditional mosaic media.
Students are encouraged to bring plates, mugs, heirlooms, dishes and other
bric-a-brac to include in a personalized piece of art. A great selection of materials will be provided.
Students should bring their own vessel to cover.
Instructor will focus on specific grouting techniques for three- dimensional and textured surfaces.
