This is a two-session online workshop.

In this workshop we will create a plaquette - a model of a possible book cover - to learn how to make mosaic on paper.

Different levels of relief and superposition of shapes will allow the creation of fine and precise lines or figures in low relief in the middle of a surface.

The techniques learned in this class can be experimented with and expanded to include other materials and applications.

This class is suitable for all levels of experience.
