Description
Advanced Landscape Masterclass Glass-on-Glass Mosaic Retreat with Kory Dollar
Push your landscape work further with stronger atmosphere, depth, color control, and intentional separation between foreground, middle distance, and background.
During this three-day retreat, students learn directly from Kory Dollar of Marvelous Mosaic Fine Art. Kory teaches glass-on-glass mosaic through clear, hands-on methods that help students understand how glass breaks, how to use directional cuts, how to balance color and opacity, and how to build artwork with movement, depth, and personality.
This advanced retreat focuses on layering, atmosphere, and depth while respecting the clarity required for glass-on-glass. Students will work with transparent, semi-opaque, and opaque glass to suggest distance, refine directional cutting for terrain and sky, and use contrast and value changes to create a landscape that reads clearly.
