Come and create your own Mosaic Artwork with Marcelle Rollinger!

This class will consist of two separate sessions. During the first session, students will make a square mosaic artwork. They will review basic design principles and go over traditional and modern ways of laying mosaic tiles. Students will also be learning how to achieve a 3D effect by layering glass on top of each other with tile glue.

The second session will be about how to grout and finish the piece. All glass, glass cutters, glue, grout, and other materials for the class will be provided.

Prior glass-cutting experience is recommended.

The price listed includes BOTH sessions! If you have any questions about the class, don’t hesitate to call the office at (973) 383 – 0027.

Learn the basics of Glass Fusion in this class with a guided step-by-step process by Marcelle Rollinger.

You will be introduced to the different kinds of glass you can choose from to create your piece like glass sheets, frit, vitrograph, stringers, and glass paint. You will also learn how to cut glass and assemble your piece.

Your creation will then be fired in a kiln for 12 hours and cool down for 12 hours. You can pick up your artistic creation a week later at SCAHC during gallery hours.

Come celebrate the spring at SCAHC with this unique opportunity to learn a skill and folk tradition with Jenny Santa Maria!

Pysanky is an ancient art of creating beautiful designs on eggs. Patterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax, which then protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied. By repeating this process, a multi-colored pattern is built up. The wax is removed at the end to reveal the colors that were covered up at each stage. A great deal of patience and concentration is required to complete a single egg, but it is very rewarding to reveal your hard work when the wax is taken off.

All skill levels can create an original pysanka. No prerequisite skills are required.

 This workshop will cover the history and traditions surrounding pysanky, demonstration, and an independent practice session. The instructor will provide a variety of organic eggs and dyes; all supplies are included. This meditative and communal experience is unlike any other art process and for many this workshop marks the beginning of a springtime family tradition that can be passed on and enjoyed for years to come.

In-person attendance will be extremely limited. Please bring a container or old egg carton to take home your creation. For ages 18 and older. 

We have 2 classes on Sunday, March 30! One in the morning, and one in the afternoon. Please sign up for your desired time slot below. Last year both classes sold out very quickly, so we suggest singing up in advance to reserve your seat!
