Saturday 10-17 August 2019with Candace Bahouth




About the Workshop
We’re delighted to offer a mosaic workshop with the multi-talented Candace Bahouth, an artist whose work over the years has spanned woven tapestry and fine needlepoint as well as the most extraordinary mosaics.
From a baseball style sneaker decorated with shards of precision cut mirror glass to soaring totems clad in fragments of china tea sets (complete with embedded spouts and handles), Candace’s work is full of wit, style and exuberance. She is a true original with an unerring eye for design and the skill of a true craftsman. You’ll learn about more than just process as Candace is an artist whose creative work has natural flow.
Starting with a palette of assorted china your mission for the week is to create a mosaic frame, learning from Candace at each stage of the process from cutting and placing through to grouting. Using coloured tesserae and pieces of broken vintage china you’ll build a beautiful mosaic and learn to incorporate other elements such as jewellery and plastics.
You’ll be encouraged to bring some of your own objects with you to the workshop – plates from an old family set for example, costume jewellery or even shells – to add more personal meaning to your work. We’ll also have a cache of old china you can dip into during the week and you can look for more treasures for your project when we visit a local fleamarket.
During the week there will also be a visit to the nearby atmospheric Sunday morning food and craft market in St Antonin-Noble-Val, the medieval town where the films Charlotte Gray and The Hundred Foot Journey were filmed.
