Description: In this workshop you will learn the basics for making clay tiles. You will get 3 lbs of clay to create as many tiles as you want. They will also be extra clay available for purchase. There will be many textures to choose from and many different shapes to cut your tile. We will also go over various ways to create your own textures and you will get to make a linocut texture to take home. You can create tiles for a specific project or create random tiles that you can use in future mosaic pieces.
On the first day, we will go over the how to make the clay tiles and you will create all of your tiles and texture. On the second day, we will go over the glazing. There will be many different types and colors of glazes to choose from. Then I will fire the tiles and they will be available for pick up or you can pay to have them shipped to you.

About the Instructor: CHERIE BOSELA
Cherie has been creating art since she was a kid (sometimes to the detriment of her parents’ furniture and walls). She learned photography from her dad and took her first photography class in high school. Then continued with the medium all through college. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Art. During college, she learned about Antoni Gaudí, an architect who used mosaic in his work throughout Barcelona, Spain, she knew right away this was what she wanted to do. The very first mosaic she made was from a kit, and it ended up in the garbage. Not happy with her results, she bought a few books about mosaics and started playing around with different types of tesserae. Then she started playing with her photography under the glass. She has been creating mosaics since 2000.
Her artwork has been included in exhibits at The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, 1st Thursdays at the Orlando Museum of Art, Mayor’s Gallery in Orlando’s City Hall, BSA Space in Boston and The Parthenon in Nashville, just to name a few. And you can also see her at several of the local art festivals. She has won several awards for her mosaic artwork.
