Have you ever felt let down by the simple, often one-word definitions used to describe the pathways that we, as mosaicists, travel? Do you want to deepen your understanding of the miracle and nuances that are possible within the line? If you want more out of mosaic art than simply using pieces to get from point A to point B, then this specialized workshop is for you! Listen to Rachel Sager, “The Forager Mosaicist,” as she breaks down andamento into bite-size chunks, introduces you to “The Rules,” and takes some of the mystery out of hammer and hardie work. Most importantly, she shares some of her secrets for grasping the mysteries that make intuitive, creative, and deeply personal andamento. Included in this online course is a printable PDF with a full resource list for the tools and materials necessary to complete this project.
