I often ask students of my mosaic classes<\/a> when the pieces are done, if they would mind if I shared their work on my blog. And sometimes they\u2019re quite happy to share. Like the two students I had just recently, both busy moms, who managed to fit in the classes as a morning out. Jillian and her sister-in-law, Shannon, were so much fun to work with.<\/p>\n

My studio is very small so, of course, I only have very small classes, two students, tops . I teach a type of mosaic called Pique Assiette, which is done with broken dishes and lots of bits and pieces, even ornaments sometimes. Although I often teach just one student at a time, I have found over the years that encouraging friends to take the class together is much more fun for everyone. No stress, just friends enjoying learning something new and having a good time.<\/p>\n

Their shopping class yielded not only some nice dishes but also the bases for their mosaics. Shannon found a frame that she will fill in with a blackboard later and use for a notice board at home. She included bits of tile from a home renovation and also some dishes with blue and white designs.<\/p>\n

As you can see, in this close up, the result works beautifully.<\/p>\n

And Jillian found one of those beveled boards that when the picture on it was painted out, became a good base for this gorgeous little abstract. Her mosaic was made from a mixture of striped dishes and dishes with delicate pattern as well as some plastic tiles from a craft shop. The composition, very intuitive, works very well too. After a bit of light blue grout, to tie it all together, we were all very pleased. The results were stunning and I\u2019m sure these Pique Assiette Mosiac pieces will add a wonderful personal touch their homes.\u00a0\u00a0 Later, Jillian painted the edge a lovely magenta which brought out the color in the mosaic.<\/p>\n
