Online Owl Class

If you would like to learn how to cut stained glass for mosaics while developing a strong foundation in the artform while creating one of Kasia's many fun and whimsical owl designs, visit the Online Owl Class Page: https://www.kasiamosaicsclasses.com/course/online-owl-class/

Below you can see some of the process photos of one of the first owl designs Kasia developed and created for this workshop.  Each of the owl patterns in the class has been first hand sketched by Kasia and then converted into a clean template that students can download through the class website. Eight owl templates are included in the class for the students to use.

Below are two examples of the updated, slight simplified/altered version of the the beloved "Professor Plum" pattern from above.  The new version of the design is more doable for the beginner students in the Online Owl Class.

The class teaches students how to cut all the glass in each owl design. Above you can see all the shapes you can learn to create. This id done with just the basic hand tools, no wet-saws or grinders.

Grouting mosaics for both indoor and outdoor projects is shown.

Besides precision cutting, other pattern making methods for mosaics are covered in the class. For example the above owl has an added broken glass pattern to fill some of the shapes. This is a great option for beginners.
