Class minimum of 4 participants

Come join Debra for her signature Birds and Other Creatures workshop. Debra will instruct you on the various materials and adhesives that work for 3D vertical applications. She will help you navigate nooks and bumps your creature may have so you can work on a smooth surface. She will show bird makers how to make glass feathers, how to cover beaks, and how to make unique hats and headdresses. She will show you how to incorporate beading onto your creature. Whether you pick a bird, a cat, a dog, a snowman or whatever else in between, Debra will guide you in transforming your creature into a work of art. (If you would rather work on a non-creature like a vase or some other 3D vessel, you can do that as well.)

If you are in need of more fancy items and more this-and-that to put in your mixed media mosaic, Debra is now curating Custom Collections for purchase. She has been collecting for many years and would be happy to put together a package for you. She will select treasures from her studio to include flowers, leaves, baubles and beads designed around your desired color palette and based on your budget. She will collaborate with you and share photos. She can bring those to your workshop or ship if you prefer. If this interests you, email Debra at Debra@DebraMagerMosaics.com to start shopping!
