Mazama Mosaic
Our December show features mosaics by Joanne Chase, of Mazama Mosaic. This set of mosaics explores the natural world and a return to the appreciation of that which sustains us when the commercial world loses its luster.
Joanne is “inspired and excited by “green” building and mosaic fits perfectly with the principles of non-toxicity, low maintenance, and beauty with functionality when it is used in installations in buildings and gardens.”
“Mosaic has a timeless quality, an ancient history; it begs to be touched; it has the unmistakable mark of handwork. I was originally drawn by its tactile quality, the fantastic colors and textures, the way mosaic can be very modern or quite old and lasts without losing its vibrancy for a very long time.”
Joanne will be sharing her craft during a two day Mosaic Gift Making Workshop in our studio on December 6th and 7th. The workshop is currently full, but you can contact the gallery to be placed on our wait list.
