Mixed media mosaics

by Cynthia Tinapple on November 10, 2011

Susan Crocenzi mixes polymer clay elements with her unglazed porcelain, tempered glass, glass and mirror mosaics as in this 8×10″ Architecture Healer (Hundtertwasser).

Artists can match polymer to the color, texture, shape, and thickness of other tesserae without the need of a kiln. Recently Susan’s been teaching mixed media classes that focus on integrating polymer into traditional mosaics.

“Mosaic art offers the sweet possibility that the random, disparate bits-and-pieces of our lives can yield peace, beauty, and meaning,” she explains. Read about Susan’s classes and study her glittering works on her site and her Facebook page.

I thought that was Sucra88! I have been admiring her breathtaking use of color for years–I am not normally a fan of mosaic, but I’ll make an exception for Susan.

I have been wanting to try mosaic work with polymer clay- just not sure I have enough patience
- you’re work is beautiful, and I will have to visit your site to get info about a class!
