Join Visiting Canadian mosaic artist, Margo Anton in February 2026 The ability to make mosaic jewellery is a fun and fantastic addition to your mosaic skill set! Learn how to create high end, precisely laid mosaic jewellery in this two day workshop. The first day begins with a comprehensive lecture and slide show on jewellery base selection, adhesive choice, and suitable tesserae, followed by an examination of design for jewellery and how it differs from standard mosaic design. Precision cutting, the key to fine mosaic jewellery, will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced. Jewellery laying techniques will be thoroughly covered, and students can expect lots of great tips! Class participants will receive lots of individual attention as they work on silver plate mosaic pendants using mosaic gold, smalti, filati, semiprecious stones, dichroic glass, and millefiori. On the second day, participants will hone their newfound skills in precision mosaic making while working on a more challenging second project. Expect to depart with the knowledge and skills to create precision mosaic jewellery on your own. This workshop should particularly benefit participants of all levels (even beginners) who are wanting to learn to cut material more precisely, who want to add high end mosaic jewellery to their repertoire, or who are interested in learning to work in small scale mosaic. Students in this class will be provided with all materials and tools to create their mosaic pendant except wheeled glass nippers and protective eyewear.
