Oh my gosh! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I just bought some Apoxie Sculpt, so I'm excited to start down this road. Amazing stuff! You have added an entire new way to use it that hopefully, I will be able to do in my elementary way. I'm surprised you don't have more views. It's their loss and those of us who watched are ahead of the game. God bless you
This intro you are watching is free and we have a few tutorials that are free but the course from which this intro comes from is for purchase with lifetime access.
Thanks to Tami Macala for this MAO Live interview, with my friend Jennifer Kuhns, and to Jennifer for her support and insistence on Laticrete. As an Oregon and Washington based Technical Sales Representative for Laticrete, we appreciate the collaboration with artisans like JK Mosaics and Jennifer, and bringing their projects to life with the use of our products. Cheers!
Thank you! Yes, Laticrete has always been a huge supporter of Mosaic Art and Mosaic Arts Online. Between Jennifer Kuhns and Rachel Sager, Laticrete gets a lot of publicity!
Yes, Jennifer knows using the right materials is key! I know as a professional mosaic artist, I sleep at night knowing I used the right products on all of my custom commissions.
About Jennifer Kuhns I've been working as a professional mosaic artist since about 2005, and I created this channel for my students. But since I have it, I have begun posting short videos about my work, whether it's descriptions and explanations of my wall art, or tips, tricks and snafus, I will post here for anyone who might be interested. I am generally a low-tech person: an introvert living far from society-at-large on 5+ acres with LOTS of animals and two other humans. So, I present as me, as I am. You will rarely see me in my clips and I am definitely not working in heels with my hair done. My life is messy, ruled by poultry, dogs, cats, goats and a teenager. But I am constantly creating, making, working, and sometimes it's interesting to a broader audience.
Can you use this tutorial and use porcelain tile instead? If so how would I use a use a concrete stepping stone set tiles with a thin set mortar instead of a backer board I would like to use porcelain tile vs ceramic as I plan to put outside in my memory garden and was told porcelain tile is best to use if kept outside in the elements as the colorant of the tile goes throughout the tile and it it gets chipped the color is still the same? For porcelain tile cutting tools to use compound nip cutters & pistol grip cutters? I appreciate whatever feedback you can give me before I purchase your course. Thanks!!
High-fire ceramic tiles work for any weather and traffic. That is what they are designed for. If you need to use porcelain because you want the same body of color all the way through, that is okay, but if you grout your mosaic, that won't matter since the grout will fill in where you would see the tile body. You can use side biter nippers or compound nippers to cut them. Good luck~

No, you can use any tesserae you like. Stained glass works well too. Depending on the type of tile you are considering, ceramic might be a bit challenging.
Awesome. We are glad you found us too. Here is a link to her full length online course to learn even more. mosaicartsonline.com/p/incorporating-air-dry-clay-in-mosaic-art/

Rachel, I am so, so sorry about the cherry tree falling on your studio. If you need friends to help, I'm betting we all would come in a split second to restore your walls. <3

Can you believe it Rachel last year 1st of May 2023 I personally brought my beloved India to our beloved Ruins! Congratulations again and Hi to Erika xx
Thank you so much Rachel and Tami and Jerry! What a wonderful glimpse into the beehive. Sorry I couldn't check in at the chat, for some reason Google would not let me sign in :(. Seems to be all fixed for now...Hope you both have a chance to catch up on some rest!
Wonderful day Rachel So exciting to see the reveal, can you believe this very day 1st of May 2023 I bought my beloved India to our beloved Ruins. Congratulations to all the team and the fab participants from around the world
Thank you so much for joining us, even if you could not check in with the chat. We knew you were there :) We are getting a little Baja RnR before we head into the second half of a very busy 2024!
Haven't you ever wondered why you get 5 likes within 5 years? You show nothing and talk a lot hardly useful stuff. Nobody wants to see something like this nowadays, why don't you learn from your mistakes?
We would recommend using whatever wheel nippers you are comfortable with. The Winckelmans tiles are thin and not hard to cut. I would try the new SeaBell line at www.witsendmosaic.com
