Description

Full description

Spend five days in Shelley’s working studio, gallery, and sanctuary exploring sacred geometry through the Seed of Life, 12-Petal Daisy, and Flower of Life. Day one is devoted to hand-drawing your personal design with compass, ruler, colored pencils, and simple, intentional steps. Days two through five focus on turning that design into a glass-and-mirror mosaic mandala through demonstrations, design critiques, mini-lectures, and room for creative pivots as your piece develops. Students will have 28 hours of instructional time with breaks.

You’ll work with specialized glass-cutting and shaping tools, select from high-end art glass and mirror, and learn Shelley’s approach to color theory. You’ll also learn to treat grout as part of the artwork: the spaces between the glass become the energy lines of the finished mandala. Leave with a grouted, ready-to-hang 12-inch mosaic created from your own design, plus drawing and construction skills you can carry into any art form. No previous drawing, geometry, or mosaic experience is necessary; newcomers are welcome, and experienced mosaic artists will gain fresh techniques for their own practice. Class is limited to five students for individual attention and an immersive studio experience.
