Here is Kim's schedule of intermediate classes. Classes run with
a maximum of 10 students and a minimum of 3 students. Private classes
can also be arranged. Rates for private tuition start at $65/hour
(3 hour minimum). If you don't see dates that suit - please email to
arrange another time. Classes are held in Canberra, Australia.
All students wishing to undertake any of these classes will need
to either demonstrate some mosaic experience or have previously completed
an introductory class, as students will have learned a foundation
that applies to these classes. For further information on Kim's
beginner's workshops please see the introductory
classes page.
INDIRECT MOSAICS
- MOSAICS ON MESH
The focus of this class is to create a mosaic using the indirect
method on fibreglass mesh. Preparation, safety, tools, design
basics and setting are discussed as well as how to and, more
importantly, why apply the technique to create large scale mosaics.
Students will adhere their mesh piece to their substrate
on the second day of the workshop. Grouting is not covered in
this class. In order to get everything out of this course, students
are encouraged to sign up to the Mosaic 101 or 201 classes as
well as the Grout Clinic if they have no
prior mosaic experience. Beginners welcome.
Students will create a 30cm x 30cm stepping stone.
Day 1: 10 - 4:30
Day 2: 11 - 2
Where: Kim's
studio in Canberra, Australia
When: TBA
Cost: $185 + $35 materials fee |

If you are after a perfecly flat and smooth mosaic
then this is the class for you! This five day workshop targets
those who are interested in creating mosaics using the reverse
indirect method. That is, designing your piece upside down and
in reverse for a perfectly smooth surface. Students will create
a tabletop for exterior use. Design considerations, preparation,
tile setting and adhesives are discussed, along with the final
installation of the piece onto the substrate. Tables can be provided
for an extra fee.

MOSAIC
CUTTING TECHNIQUES & COLOUR BASICS
A two day course for the mosaic enthusiast who wants to take
their mosaic knowledge further and widen their skills and proficiency.
Learn how to
cut materials with precision, how to foresee a piece and its
end location within the mosaic and how to cut that piece in such
a way that doesn't disrupt the andamento of your overall mosaic.
Texture, flow (andamento) and basic colour theory will be addressed.
Students will make a study piece using the different techniques
learned in the class. Size will be 30 cm square. Grouting is
not covered in this class.

A one day lecture that covers everything from opus and flow to basic
colour theory and different methods of enlarging your designs. If you
are interested in design basics specific to making mosaics then this
class is for you. There is no practical mosaic making in this class.
Handouts with notes from the class will be issued.

3D MOSAICS: BREATHING LIFE INTO INANIMATE
OBJECTS
This six day workshop delves into the art of mosaic making on
a pre-made sculptural form. Students will learn the basics of
cutting different materials – stained glass, vitreous glass,
ceramic (glazed and non glazed), and lots of other materials.
We will then consider how to effectively place the tessera (each
individual piece of tile) onto the 3D form to produce a cohesive
whole. Design basics, choosing appropriate materials and forms
for its intended purpose will also be discussed in length. Grouting
will be held on the last day.
Some mosaic experience necessary.
Where: Kim's studio in Canberra,
Australia
When: Once a week over six weeks - Monday 30 April, 7, 14, 21 & 28 May, 4 June 2012

COMMUNITY
MOSAICS & ARCHITECTURAL
APPLICATIONS
This is a course that results in creating a large
scale mosaic
that is ultimately donated to a worthy cause or not-for-profit
business in the ACT or surrounding region. Each
project is dependant on the community we would be working with and
what their needs may be. Usually around an eight to ten day course,
depending on the size of the project. The timeline is determined
before the project starts. Projects are commonly murals and floor
installations, but are certainly not limited to this. Mosaics
may be made on mesh or direct or a combination
of both.
Some mosaic experience necessary. Students are encouraged to
sign up to Mosaic 101 or Mosaic
201 prior to taking this class.
Where: Fabrication takes place in
Kim's studio in Canberra, Australia. Installation on site in
and around Canberra.
When: TBA
Cost: $650 + $125
