Walking the line…online
I hate to travel. It wasn’t always this way. My family loves to point out all of my red dots on the map from years of teaching and travel… Ireland, China, most of Western Europe, Czech Republic, The Canary Islands, Argentina… Despite this, I’ve fallen in love with my own little corner of the world and don’t much like to leave its comforts unless tempted with the good carrots. Note to Scotland: If you invite me, I will come!
Sager Mosaic’s Studio on The Great Allegheny Passage
I may hate to travel, but I love to teach. This presents challenges to both me and my future students. Not everyone can get themselves to my studio at The Ruins Project in Pennsylvania. Happily, Tami Macala of the Santa Barbara School of Mosaic Art has invited me to be a contributor to her very exciting new niche learning venue, Mosaic Arts Online.
With Tami’s expert help, I have built a very particular tutorial titled “Intuitive Andamento”. It works as a condensed but focused example of my in-person teaching style. In just under an hour, a student of mosaic will learn about the nuance that is crucial for building lines that express parts of yourself.
Andamento can be so much more than simply getting from point A to point B. Those little adventures within the line itself are where the real fun stuff happens. If you want to be introduced to what mosaic can be, if you want to push your style into new territory, in short, if you want to build lines with personality, then this just under an hour tutorial is what you are looking for. The risk versus investment is low compared to getting yourself through an airport and booking a hotel room.
I am proud of this workshop and look forward to hearing feedback if you take the leap.
Keep walking that line! Rachel Sager, The Forager Mosaicist
