In this workshop artist Gail Jones will take you on the journey of turning paper from home into an expressive piece of your creativity. You will learn the fundamentals of Mosaic Paper Art. You will need re-cycled paper (newspaper, magazines, wrapping paper, paper bags), scissors, 6×6 piece of cardboard or heavy stock paper, glue, practice paper (such as copy paper), tooth pick, pencil, damp rag, tweezers and ruler. This workshop is for all skill levels.
Gail Jones is a professional teaching artist who will bring this workshop to you from her studio in Muncy Valley, Pa., where she resides.
Jones spent much of her early years as a batik artist, creating a wearable art line from the shapes and designs that flowed out of her. She soon created flat pieces which began to be display in shows and galleries.
Over twenty years ago, Jones returned to working with ceramics, opening her first studio inside a rented space in a tiny little village named Forksville, in north-central Pennsylvania until moving to an equally obscure location in Muncy Valley, Pa.
There, Jones established a working studio where her own creativity seemingly never ceases while her pottery classes draw in other women from the community that love that same creative energy.
Her mosaic works now incorporate her own hand-made tessera which serves to enhance the creative expression.
