[MR] Interest in a mosaic class?

[Jessica Maxson]

Salve tutti!

For those who are planning on going to University in February, I'm  
wondering if there would be interest in a hands-on mosaic class. My  
tentative plan would be to have it over several class periods, maybe  
four (?), with a history lecture in the first hour and then the  
hands-on section for the rest of the time. The project would be Roman  
style black and white mosaics using unglazed porcelain tile. Each  
student would have an 8"x8" piece of backer board and some pre-cut  
tiles to play with. Nippers would be available for loan or purchase. I  
was thinking about making up some design templates beforehand -  
nothing too complicated, but appropriate for the time period. I would  
probably have to ask for about $10-$12 as a materials fee, and limit  
the class to 5 students.

I'd like to know if there's enough interest before I commit to doing  
the class because there's a lot of prep work involved. So if this  
sounds like something you'd be interested in doing, please drop me a  
note privately and let me know. I'll also consider doing it for a  
northern session of University sometime.

Grazie!
