Mosaics with Margo!

Bradenton mixed-media artist Margo Belaga, who has worked in ceramics for more than 30 years, teaches this hands-on mosaic class for the Folk School at the Florida Maritime Museum in the old fishing village of Cortez. Students compose an abstract design from mosaic tiles and beads, learn how to grout the finished tilework and take the piece home. Belaga's own wall mosaics, many set in black grout to sharpen their color, lean eclectic and whimsical, and the workshop follows that lead. The class meets outdoors and gets messy. It is aimed at adults, though older children who can work safely on their own are welcome.
