Welcome to the vibrant world of mosaics! In this hands-on introductory workshop, you'll learn the essential techniques needed to create beautiful mosaic art.
Students will be introduced to the basics of cutting and nipping glass, working with various adhesives and substrates, choosing and placing tesserae, and applying different grouting methods. You'll also explore three distinct mosaic techniques: glass on wood, glass on glass, and the indirect method.
Projects include a glass-on-wood mosaic, a glass sun catcher, and an indirect cast mosaic.
All materials are provided, but you're welcome to bring personal items or special pieces to incorporate into your designs.
Printmaking on Fabric
Dates: Saturday, September 26, from 10 am - 2 pm
Fee: $100/ discount with member code
Ages: 15+
Levels: All
Sessions: 1
Instructor: Saman Shojaei Barjuei
Location: Schack Art Center, Printmaking Studio
Explore creative printmaking techniques on fabric to create one-of-a-kind textiles and wearable art in this hands-on workshop! Students will experiment with a variety of printing methods to produce unique patterns, textures, and layered designs on fabric while learning the fundamentals of composition, color, and surface design. Whether you're interested in customizing clothing, making decorative textiles, or exploring a new artistic process, this class offers plenty of room for creativity.
No previous printmaking experience is required. By the end of the course, you'll leave with several beautifully printed fabric pieces and the skills to continue creating your own custom textiles.
Students can bring a few fabric items, such as a tote bag, T-shirt, or other solid-colored fabric pieces. Any color is fine, as long as it’s a solid color.
The instructor will provide a few fabric pieces for practice first, and then students can work on their own items. All other supplies included.

Registration: $70
7 WA State Clock Hours
Discover how art can serve as a dynamic bridge between environmental science, mathematics, and creative expression in this inspiring educator workshop designed for teachers seeking interdisciplinary approaches and STEM Clock Hours.
Join fellow educators and teaching artists for a hands-on weekend exploring how eco-conscious art practices can deepen student understanding of environmental systems, material science, and data-informed design. Through project-based learning experiences, participants will examine how recycled and natural materials open opportunities to teach scientific inquiry, engineering thinking, measurement, and problem-solving within the art classroom.
Educators will:
Explore the science of sustainable materials and life cycles
Integrate environmental data, observation, and systems thinking into visual art projects
Connect design challenges to engineering principles and resource management
Discuss contemporary artists whose work addresses climate change and environmental justice
Participants will leave with ready-to-implement, standards-aligned lesson plans that support math and science integration while fostering environmental literacy and student advocacy. This workshop supports educators looking to meaningfully blend art, sustainability, and STEM learning — equipping you with practical tools to meet curriculum goals while inspiring the next generation of environmentally conscious thinkers.
