Mosaic Fiesta : An Opus Pixellatum Class in Atlanta



I will be teaching this spring a 3 days class (Friday night, Saturday, Sunday morning) about my Opus Pixellatum Technique.



During this class open to 12 students only, you will create a naturalistic portrait of your own eyes. 


Course Project

Each student will create a 7 inch x 17 inch mosaic portrait of their own eyes, or the eyes of a friend, relative, etc. The portrait will be created from a photograph using my Opus Pixellatum technique.


Cost
The cost of the event is $275 per person, which includes the cost of all materials.


Tentative Date

The class will be a weekend event (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) for 12 people, and  The class is tentatively scheduled for March 24, 25, and 26th in Decatur, Georgia.  
Please email inspire@mosaicartsupply.com to reserve your slot or express interest in a later date.


The Venue
The class will be held in Decatur, Georgia, one of the most livable cities in the US. Decatur’s old courthouse square filled with fine dining and boutiques, plus a MARTA train station that provides stress-free access to the Atlanta Airport. The course will be held at the Mosaic Art Supply warehouse, which is less than 2 miles from the Decatur Square.

 

Schedule of the Event 


Two Weeks Before

Two weeks before the event, students need to email us the photograph that they will use as a model for their mosaic. Frederic will use this digital photograph to create the pattern for your mosaic and determine the colors and quantities of tiles needed.


Friday Night

Arrive and check in at your hotel. Meet and greet with Joe Moorman, Frederic Lecut, and the other students over dinner in Decatur Square.


Saturday

From 9am to 1pm, students will lay out their designs on the patterns. Following a long lunch, we will transfer the mosaics to their backers. Throughout this process, there will be discussion of how to use the Opus Pixellatum technique as a point of departure for incorporating stylistic elements beyond the pattern and other aspects of mosaic composition.

 

Sunday

Grout the mosaics. Farewell and departure.

 

Reserve Your Slot !

Spaces in this class are limited.  Please email inspire@mosaicartsupply.com to reserve your slot or express interest in a later date. Once the date is confirmed, we will be collecting non-refundable payments of $275 for the course.

Mosaic Fiesta 2017



 

A unique creative experience !



I developed my Opus Pixellatum technique in 2015 for my Yezidi Eyes series of mosaics. As I refined it this year I came to realize the huge potential of this technique to create mesmerizing and fascinating pieces.

Many of you having enquired about this I am thinking about organizing next February in Atlanta MOSAIC FIESTA : a fun and exclusive event to share with you my experience with this new innovative technique !

The principle of Opus Pixellatum is simple : From a digital picture I create a model grid. Each cell of this grid contains a number, corresponding to one color of mosaic tiles. You glue this tile on the grid. Once all the cells of the grid are covered, your mosaic is ready to grout. It is complete.



Yezidi 37 - from picture to complete mosaic



This sounds very much like “mosaic by number”. It's not ! Opus Pixellatum allows many many beautiful and dramatic variations and I’ll teach, explain and demonstrate them to you during the event.


 
Practically, we'll take a picture of you (Or you 'll bring one you like) and I'll create a model from it. Saturday morning you will build your mosaic on the model. Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning we will glue it and grout it on its support and you will bring it home with you !

We will use recycled glass tiles only, and there will be no cutting involved.


The event, hosted in a beautiful hotel downtown Atlanta would be all inclusive. Rooms, Food, Instructions, Models, all Mosaic Supplies and Tools will be provided and the cost would be approximately of $1,250 for the 3 days.



My good friend Shelley and I are still at the organizing stage and would really appreciate your input or questions on this project.
