Create your own mosaic birdbath at Saturday class
Artist Leigh Adams says she has an unusual perspective on earthquakes. "Instead of getting upset when something breaks, everyone cheers," she says of her family. "It's called a paradigm shift. I enjoy taking
something broken and making something whole and wonderful out of it."
Adams' latest paradigm shift is for the birds: She hosts a class on making mosaic birdbaths on Saturday at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. In the hands-on workshop, Adams will demonstrate how to use broken tile and glass on saucers or bowls, fused and grouted into place. Everyone, she says, will go home with a finished piece.
The class will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants should bring a 12-inch or larger glazed saucer or bowl like the one pictured above. Admission is $40 to $50. Reservations: (626) 821-4623 or e-mail jill.berry@arboretum.org.
