Mosaic Classes

Thursday Mornings.  9:30 AM to 12:30 PM

Starts June 6th, 2024

Instructor: Barbara Dybala

A new beginning: June 6th, on Thursday morning at 9:30AM-12:30PM, a new group of mosaic enthusiasts is forming. We will start the class with the basics of art and mosaics and grow from there.

Some call it therapy; others enjoy Hidden Mosaic’s creative environment and group interaction. Either way, we learn to see mosaic lessons based on design theory rather than personal likes, thus constructively growing self-confidence.

 In this class, each student will create their concept in mosaic. An abundant amount of glass and tiles that are free to use are at your disposal. You must supply your own tools and any extra glass or tile you wish to incorporate into your mosaic. Students will benefit from being in a professional studio where they can see large-scale mosaics under construction.

Payment is for the month.  Missed classes are non-refundable.

Hidden Mosaic butterfly class

Hidden Mosaic is a Rockwall hidden gem where artist Barbara Dybala creates custom mosaic installations for private and public works. She enjoys creating and instructing mosaic classes. The jewelry pendant workshop is the most popular.
Please join in and make a party out of it in this beautiful pendant workshop. Your first decision is the selection of one of the ten different styles of pendant shells. Next, choose from over 500 packages of beads, jewels, and stones to fill your pendant. You will get a demo, and Barbara will help you make selections to create your one-of-a-kind pendant. A gift-giver or a keeper; either way, it’s a winner.
Come 30 minutes early to walk outside and see all the mosaics and gardens.

Guest Instructor: Shug Jones

The style of Photorealism in mosaic art can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be.  Join instructor Shug Jones in this workshop to learn how to break down figures and their surroundings to bring them to life using light, shadow, movement, gestures, and perspective.  Not only mosaic techniques but elements of art that will improve your work in any medium will be shared with you.  Learn to look critically at your artwork and find solutions.

You will employ standard glass cutting tools, diamond files, a glass grinder, and your wheeled nippers to shape your stained glass. References will be provided by the instructor for you to work from, with several students using a matching reference. 

The students will select from a assortment of photos provided by the instructor. A minimum of two to three students will be working from each image. Students will take home an 8″ x 8″ mosaic and gain an understanding of how to use perspective, values, and gesture to create realistic and lifelike figures. It is possible that some students may complete their project, but not all of them will.

Wheeled nippers
Glass cutter, pencil or pistol
Glass runner plier and Grozier Pliers
