March 12 – 18 , 2023
Arrival on Sunday, 5 day Workshop, Depart Saturday
$2195 total cost for the workshop and accommodations for the week
Includes 5 days instruction, 6 nights lodging, and two delicious meals made by the Hacienda’s personal chef and served poolside each day. There is a Welcome Happy Hour Sunday evening with delicious hors d’oeuvres and drinks. The studio is open 24/7.
I am so excited to be returning to teach in the most beautiful, inspiring, and relaxing environment of Hacienda Mosaico.
During this five day mosaic workshop, you’ll learn all the skills needed to create exterior mosaics with a focus on embellishing doorways. We’ll begin with learning a variety of ways to approach the design and then you’ll learn two different methods for applying your design onto the wall. Interior wall application will be discussed as well.
We’ll be working as a team to surround the entry doorway of the Hacienda as well as entrances to individual rooms. Transforming a doorway is magical and it’ll be a super fun experience to see what you can do in your own personal environment to add life to your wall with texture and color. Included in the workshop will be making ceramic tiles which we’ll fire and incorporate into the mosaics.
This workshop is open to students of all levels. Although some mosaic experience may be helpful, it is not necessary. Should you prefer to bring your own mosaic project idea to work on for the week, that is a possible option. We will work together ahead of time to discuss and to assure that you have what you need while there.
Students will need to bring their own tools – a full list with links to purchase will be sent out before the workshop.
Optional workshop activities include:
An after class/ evening session for students to share images of their own work.
About the Hacienda….it is a magical corner of the world. This walled garden hacienda with swimming pool and inviting common areas is artist owned and operated. Art abounds! The accommodations are excellent. Every room is uniquely decorated and comfortable. Meals are prepared poolside in an open air kitchen and every meal is a treat. The Hacienda is located in a family friendly residential neighborhood. A quick and inexpensive taxi ride gets you to the beaches and wonderful shopping, art galleries, restaurants and nightlife. Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful and friendly beach resort.
Location:
The beach is within walking distance and the swimming pool is steps away from your door. Hacienda Mosaico’s garden paradise is very private and filled with lush tropical plants and colorful artwork created by artists and workshop participants from all over the world. The town of Puerto Vallarta has interesting shops, restaurants, galleries. The charm and beauty of Mexico is just waiting for you to explore!
**Dinner options abound with many delicious and internationally varied choices within walking distance of Hacienda Mosaico. Puerto Vallarta is an easy cab or even bus ride away where there are more wonderful choices.
We often combine the weekly “Gallery Stroll” with a group dinner at a beach side restaurant!
