For the last month, the Splendid Pieces exhibit at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road) has shown the work of Georgia mosaics artist Julie Mazzoni (her website here).
There will be a closing reception in the library’s art gallery Thursday, Aug. 30, from 6-8 p.m., the day before the exhibit closes. She’ll be offering a demo and a talk about her work.
A Kennesaw State grad, Julie began doing mosaics in 2009 after working in children’s murals, watercolors and acrylics. She specializes in 3-D bas-relief mixed media concept works and realism in stained glass.
If you’re interested in learning how to do mosaics, you can get a start earlier in the week.
The library is offering two related classes starting next Tuesday.
A Mosaic Rock Garden Class takes place over four sessions, through Sept. 18, as you’ll learn how to personalize your own backyard garden. The cost is $47, and the class meets every Tuesday from 10-11:30 a.m. Here’s how to sign up.
Mazzoni will be teaching Beginner Mosaics, an eight-session class, through Oct. 30. Here’s more on signing up for that course. The fee is $170, and the class meets from 11:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. every Tuesday, except for Sept. 25.
She’s also teaching the same class, from Aug. 28 to Oct. 2, at The Art Place (3320 Sandy Plains Road), with sessions from 5:30-8 p.m. Here’s signup information for that.
The Art Place is also where she’s teaching an Open Mosaics Studio class from Oct. 9 to Nov. 13 (details and signup here). Julie’s also had her work exhibited there.
