ART in ACTION with Joi Tripp at ART on FIRST
Thursday, May 15, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Join ART on FIRST and Joi Tripp for ART in ACTION, an opportunity to meet, experience, and interact with Joi while she provides a live demonstration of her creating micro-mosaic jewelry. Joi brings the timeless art of micro-mosaics to life. This creative form, popular among royals for centuries before the Vatican Studio opened in the 1700's, was the perfect medium for Joi's creativity to shine. She cuts and files tiny glass rods into pieces averaging 2mm x 2mm. These small pieces are then placed into an epoxy adhesive bed that is permanent. Joi's subjects include gardens, flowers, and rural scenes. When she is finished, gemstones and borosilicate glass beads frame the pendants.
