Toyoharu Kii's Monochromatic Workshop at The Chicago Mosaic School

During the first week of June 2015, I had the privilege to participate in Toyoharu Kii's five day Monochromatic Workshop at The Chicago Mosaic School. The focus of the workshop was learning ways to express movement, texture, and content in ways that are only possible with the medium of mosaic. The material used was white marble so color or different types of material could not be used to accomplish the task. During the workshop we also learned Kii's tried and tested technique that gives his work its signature characteristics. Thank you Toyoharu for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. It was a great learning experience.

Chicago Mosaic School 10th Anniversary Film

I was fortunate to have one of my mosaics, "Counterpoint," included in this film. The video was filmed with the latest 4D technology and the detail, texture, and color is amazing. Click on the following link and enjoy.
