                Theme:  Autumn Colors and Reflections....

                One of the most defining characteristics of the fall season is the new colors that fill the landscape with the falling leaves turning to red, yellow, and orange. Van Gogh was struck by the beauty of falling leaves.  Monet 's work Autumn on the Seine used muted autumnal colors mirrored in the water below.  But let's not limit our subject choices to traditional fall landscapes -- there are exciting cityscapes that incorporate the rich colors of fall too.

It was there that she earned her certificate in Studio Printmaking.

                              No previous experience is required, all you need is a passion for color, texture and an openness to creativity, and originality!

                              “With this hands-on experience, I hope to inspire everyone to love the most addictive art form ever!” ~ Beverley Hunter

                              You’ll have a selection of substrates to work on and a wide variety of inspiring materials to choose from. Feel free to mix and match, experimenting with ceramic tiles, jewelry, glass gems, charms, rhinestones, beads, and found objects! Get a sneak peek into what years of collecting materials looks like!

                              We’ll cover an introduction to adhesives, sources for materials and substrates, and the 3 basic elements of mosaic art: cutting, gluing, and grouting. Some work outside of class will be required - you’ll receive grout to complete your piece when it is done.

                              By the end, you'll take home a one-of-a-kind masterpiece—your very own creation!

                              Join us and bring a friend for an afternoon of creative exploration, fun, and learning.  The workshop is tailored to all art skill levels.  We can't wait to see you  there!


                              What to bring:

                              • Safety goggles (some will be available, but bring your own if possible)
                              • Snacks and drinks to keep you energized
                              • If you would like to bring a special item to use as your focal point: a personal treasure like a broken necklace, an ornament, a mismatched earring, or a vintage brooch, something you’ve held onto & can’t part with.

                              Fee:  $65 per MAA member registration fee. $75 non-MAA member fee registration. Participants must be 18 years or older.

                              Workshop Instructor:  Beverley received her Associates Degree in Graphic Design, Textile Design, and Fine Art from St. Albans College of Art and Design, St. Albans, England, in 1985. She then received a Bachelor of Arts with Honors Degree in Graphic Design from Canterbury College of Art/Kent Institute of Art & Design, Kent, England, in 1988.

                              Beverley uses many types of media in her mosaics, including glass, ceramics, beads, tiles, and unique found treasures. Because her education and professional background include graphic design, composition is in her nature. She applies this in a 3-dimensional way, creating a detailed extravaganza of tactile shape and color, which is supremely rewarding to her. Beverley is thrilled when people enjoy the artwork she has gained such satisfaction in creating.
