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.
