Mastering Mosaics: 19 Artists, 19 Projects
Rayna Clark


Learn proven techniques and successful methods of creating mosaic art from 19
different artists. Patient professionals give informative, specific, and even
moving accounts of their personal mosaic strategies. See a wide range of
projects from a child’s vanity with flashy platform shoes for feet, to a
dazzling representation of the ancient Golden Ratio; nothing is beyond the
capabilities of these masters…or your own. Discover tricks for getting the
best uses out of your substrates, tesserae, and objects in your home that you
can transform into mosaic art. Sharpen your grouting, painting, carving, and
sculpting skills, and try these mosaics yourself, or take it in a new direction
altogether. This book is an informative, educational tool that can complement a
class or be the course guide. These experienced instructors will gladly help
you surmount obstacles that all mosaic artists face.

Ceramic glaze and earthenware, conventional materials, are intriguingly unconventionally used. Whereas
glaze usually acts as a mere covering layer in order to protect and to ornament earthenware,
Christensen swaps roles and examines the material for its form determining properties and
possibilities. The viscosity of the glaze, the porosity of the ceramic, the temperature of the kiln and
ever-present gravity serve as the tools in Christensen’s ongoing research, leading to mesmerizing
creations and unpredictable beauty.
