SUMMARY:Hacienda Mosaico Retreat   Jan 30-Feb 5\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n3 D  Sculptural Mosaic Cactus \n$2050 total cost for the workshop and accommodations for the week \nIncludes 5 days instruction\, 6 nights lodging\, and two delicious meals made by the Hacienda’s personal chef and served poolside each day. There is a Welcome Happy Hour Sunday evening with delicious hors d’oeuvres  and drinks. The studio is open 24/7. \nDuring this five day mosaic retreat\, you’ll learn all the skills needed to create your very own 3D sculptural cactus. We’ll begin with learning how to construct the armature using foam\, mesh and Pal Tiya\, and then you’ll learn the mesh method for doing your mosaic work on and then thinsetting it to the sculpture.  You’ll work on a smaller scale so that you’ll be able to bring your pieces home with you in a large suitcase. \nSkills you will learn include: \nWorking with Pal Tiya to create an armature\, glass cutting techniques and tips\, design ideas and considerations\, mixing and coloring thinset\, and mixing and coloring grout\, using mesh to lay your tessarae\, and transferring mesh with tessarae onto your substrate. In addition\, we will have access to a kiln and if you want to include learning how to make handmade flowers and tunas for the top of the cactus you will have that option. \n***Should you prefer to bring your own mosaic project idea to work on for the week or make something different than a cactus\, I am more than willing to accommodate that. We will work together in advance to discuss your project idea via email. You will then be responsible for bringing your own materials and the appropriate hand tools to cut your selected tesserae. For safe and cost effective transportation of your art work we suggest student designs not exceed 3 square feet. \nStudents should bring mosaic hand tools including a good quality wheeled nipper\, glass scoring tool\, a running plier and a pair of scissors. \nInstructional Studio Sessions: \nWe will be working in the studio from 10 AM – 4 PM. Daily schedules will be made clear so as not to infringe on the extraordinary variety of activities that the Hacienda Mosaico and Puerto Vallarta have to offer.  You also have 24 hours studio access each  day. \nThis workshop is open to students of all levels. Although some mosaic experience may be helpful\, it is not necessary. \nMore details and info can be found on the Hacienda website: \nhttp://haciendamosaico.com/marsha-rafter/ \nAbout the Hacienda….it is a magical corner of the world. This walled garden hacienda with swimming pool and inviting common areas is artist owned and operated. Art abounds! The accommodations are excellent. Every room is uniquely decorated and comfortable.
