Mosaic Art with Cathy Maxwell
Beginner Level
The class includes instruction on safety, use of tools, types of materials, and grouting in an informative, fun and relaxed atmosphere. We will be using the direct method for applying materials. There will be a large selection of materials, including tile, glass gems, broken dishes, ceramic squares, penny rounds and hexagons, and miscellaneous decorative tile pieces. You are welcome to bring pieces of tile, broken china, jewelry or interesting found objects to enhance your piece and make it meaningful and special.

Cathy has exhibited her work in many local exhibits and has also participated in fundraising exhibits for the Riverside Art Museum, including the Giant Orange ARTventure and Banner Art. “Under the Citrus Sun“, the giant mosaic orange created by Cathy and Greg Maxwell, is on permanent display at the Riverside Plaza.
