Chicago to Luing, slate mosaic artist Dugie MacInnes was on this side of the Atlantic running one of his popular workshops this month. “I believe its is the eighth occasion on which I have run workshops on the island in the village hall. Returning to the hall, techniques in splitting the slate were shown and participants had to sort through their collected material before talking through ideas and arranging the pieces of slate into a pattern. To start the mosaic making, the largest pieces of slate are cemented down until, finally, the smallest fragments are set into the background, along with splashes of colour using Italian glass smalti.
