Mosaic Workshop in Philly with Isaiah Zagar

 I had a ball at a mosaic workshop with Isaiah Zagar in Philadelphia over the weekend.



I've been following his work for over 20 years and never imagined I would ever meet him no less do a mosaic with him!


We were doing the mosaic at St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Philadelphia.


Isaiah, his grandson, and I.



We are outlining the drawing with mirror that we cut earlier in the day.



We were making such good progress he decided to add a mermaid.




We filled in with tiles that we had broken up into small pieces.



Here we are grouting.

Cleaning off the grout.

In a couple days Isaiah will come back and paint the lines back in you saw in the beginning!


A work in progress up stairs in his studio.



The outside of his studio on Watkins St.


Various mosaics around town.




The painted bride on Vine Street.


Back in the studio, upstairs apartment, he's got to get the floor done by tomorrow night!




Garage floor he drives on.



Every inch of his huge studio is covered with mosaic!!


More mosaics around town.


When in Philadelphia there are over 200 of his mosaics to see! And don't miss the Magic Garden on South Street - I've talked about it in an earlier blog post.

Now can't wait to try it on my own!!
