OK, so my friend and I are trying to start up a crafts class for children aged 5-12. Supplies have to be fairly inexpensive, (ie, bead animals that use pony beads, string, and key rings) because we have to make classes affordable. Also, we would like to keep things fairly simple, seeing as we are dealing with children. However, crafts can take several classes to complete. Classes will be about two hours long which includes a short story and snack time. I am not terribly artistic, but my partner is, so a few higher-level projects can be done, but I would like to keep those to a minimum. Please try to think of things that you may have done in summer camp, elementary school art classes, daycare, VBS, Sunday School, or other things of the sort. Any suggestions are well appriciated. Thank you!
Mosaic glass is beautiful tiles used to make wonderful crafts and designs. It became popular during the Ptolemaic period, used to make colorful patterns and art. Fused mosaic glass is used to create patterns that look like they are made out of marble. While the effect is the same, marble is much more expensive.
Bold patterns of art created with mosaic glass were common in the Empire period. The glass was used for walls and vaulted ceilings. Mosaic glass works wonderfully on ceilings because it reflects like so well. The Romans enjoyed using mosaic glass as well. It is well known in the early forms of their artistic cultures.
There are three techniques for using mosaic glass: the direct method, the indirect method, and the double indirect method. The direct method involves placing the mosaic glass directly on to a supporting surface. This is generally used in small projects such as creating vases and other crafts.
The indirect method works well for larger projects that have a repetitive pattern to them. These glass tiles are generally applied to an adhesive backing paper then transferred to the wall area, floor, or other surface. This is a time saver for large projects and it is easier than applying each glass mosaic one at a time.
The double indirect method is generally used when the work needs to be seen throughout the process. This is to ensure the design is correct prior to placing it on the project surface. This type of work is done is sections.
The more difficult glass mosaic patterns require some in depth mathematical calculations. If you use a book or internet source to choose a glass mosaic design, it will give you the necessary information regarding the number of each color of tile you will need to purchase. Otherwise, such calculations may be part of the process for you.
Today, mosaic glass can be purchased from quality craft supply stores and on the internet. Mosaic glass is used to decorate homes. It is very popular in bathrooms and entryways. It adds detail and flare to any home. Mosaic glass is a colorful and distinct way to add class to your home.
