In this class we’ll be creating tiled mosaics in a sand base and then coating them in cement to create sturdy finished mosaic stepping stones. We’ll briefly touch on different forms of cement casting, molding, and draping’s, before spending the majority of class designing and building our mosaics. You’ll have several images available to base your mosaics on but please feel free to bring in any reference images or ideas you have!

All materials are provided and we will have tons of tiles and stones available to put into the mosaics but feel free to bring any sturdy (stone or tile, maybe glass) objects that you think will go well in your mosaic and we’ll appraise to see if they’ll work out!

The class will be 3 hours long, and at the end of it you’ll have between one and two finished mosaic tiles to take home!

If you need a scholarship for this class, please submit this request form. You may be notified as little as 24 hours before the event.

The Ace Workshop is a community space which means that we all have a role to play beyond simply working on our projects and cleaning up after ourselves. This social evening is all about working together to care for our tools, make repairs, and practice concepts covered in our Shop Basics class like logging assets and finding information on the wiki.

Class Type: Exposure
Level: Beginner
Timing: 2 hours
Location: Suite #214 Workshop
Prerequisite: Shop Basics
Certifications: None
Age: 18+

Our expert host, Howard Cohen, will help guide the group through a variety of repairs as we work in teams of two to tackle a checklist of current workshop maintenance and repair needs. This beginner-accessible volunteer event is a great entry point into both Ace shop culture and tool repair concepts + an easy way to make your monthly contribution of effort.

Each event is unique! One month we may align the Table Saw blade, repair a vacuum duct and re-home new tools; the next we may wax the tool tabletops and replace the cyclone filter.

Bonus: Try signing up with a friend or a date! At Ace we use the buddy system for all repairs.

What to bring: A notebook or well-charged phone for accessing slack and the wiki.
What to wear: Closed-toe shoes, short sleeves, and work clothes. Long hair must be tied back.
Safety Gear: Eye protection, ear protection, and hand sanitizer will be provided. You can also bring your own.
