Phoenix Forrester 6-9 Thursday Eve/Friday Eve	347 - Mosaic Shrine with Vintage China & Found Objects (2 evenings)	[back to quicklinks] $ 115
This is a two-part class, beginning on one evening and ending the next evening. We will be making a small shrine using vintage china pieces, (the thinner, delicate china rather than the heavy industrial kind) along with found objects. Using a strong piece of wood (like a wooden drawer), we will create our own personal shrine. We will spend the first evening adhering the china and objects to the surface in a pattern of your choosing, using a special adhesive. The 'theme' is up to you. The next evening will be spent grouting your piece to complete it. You will then have the skills and product knowledge to go on to more elaborate pieces. Supply List: --china (approx 10 pieces--plates, cups, saucers--nothing needs to match) If possible, have most of your china hammered into small pieces for easier travel, along with a basic design plan; --little figurines are fun to add to your piece; --found objects; --one sturdy wood piece, approx 12x12--no larger, preferably with a small ledge on the bottom (e.g., plywood, an old drawer); --tile nippers, --hammer; --goggles; --mastic tile adhesive (sold at Home Depot); --brush & dustpan; --latex gloves; --white glue; --heavy-duty paper towels; --sanded grout (the color of your choice available at Home Depot); --small bucket to hold water; --med sponge; --2 old rags; --small metal spatula Questions?  Contact the instructor at:  phoenix@phoenixforrester.com Online registration for the Portland event is now closed.
