In this class you will learn the process of designing and creating a mosaic pendant using your choice of tiny ceramic tiles, stained glass pieces, found objects, and filati, which are colored glass rods that can be cut crosswise to make tiny circles or petals. You will have a choice of bezel to work within, then we will cover design principles, how to cut the glass, and also shape any other materials to fit your design. Pieces are then laid out in place before mixing the adhesive. By the end of the class you will complete one small and one larger pendant. Materials fee includes two pendant bezels, choice of micro-mosaic materials, and adhesive.

Luann Smith began making jewelry to help with school expenses while studying figure painting and illustration at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. After moving to Madison, she worked as a freelance illustrator, portrait painter, and taught watercolor for the UW Extension.
Years of painting realistically has morphed into more sculptural work, which incorporates vintage and found objects into her jewelry, mosaic water pieces, and bird sculptures. Luann’s jewelry can be found at River Arts on Water Gallery in Prairie Du Sac, and Longbranch Gallery in Mineral Point.
