Introduction to Micromosaic Jewelry: Class and Kit
Live on Zoom · 3 hours · Kit included
Learn the centuries-old art of micromosaic, where tiny pieces of glass come together to form a detailed image. In this live, beginner-friendly class, Janice Peacock will guide you step by step as you design and set your own micromosaic pendant, with tips on color, layout, and handling the tiny tesserae. Your kit includes everything you need to finish your piece in class. No experience necessary.
Janice is a Bay Area glass artist whose work is in the Corning Museum of Glass, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, and the Venice Glass Museum. She has taught micromosaic to more than 500 students and has made glass beads for over 30 years.
