Meet your tutor

Catherine Conaty is a stained-glass mosaic artist who has been working with glass for more 25 years and teaching mosaics professionally for 10 years. She loves the limitless, colourful potential that mosaic offers as an art form while being sustainable and permanent. Catherine creates everything from micro mosaics to large scale architectural installations, however, she has a special love for the technique of glass on glass because of the ‘dance of light’ that can be achieved in this medium. She is one of the Queensland representatives of the Mosaic Association of Australia and New Zealand (MAANZ).
