QR Code in Mosaic - Build, Scan, Connect with Rachel Sager

In this first-of-its-kind mini course, Rachel Sager invites you to reimagine the ordinary QR code — that flat, black-and-white digital square — as a living mosaic artwork that connects the tactile world to the digital one.

Yes, it really works!!

You’ll create a fully functional, scannable QR code that’s also a stunning mosaic — transforming technology into a personal, artistic statement that can hang in your studio, travel with you, or even be installed permanently outdoors.

This is your chance to combine the ancient art of mosaic with the immediacy of the digital age — bridging handcraft and technology in a way that’s meaningful, relevant, and yes, a little magical.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

• Build a fully functional QR code from glass or ceramic tesserae.
• Print and prepare the perfect-sized cartoon for precise, pixel-perfect alignment.
• Understand the “safe zones” of QR code architecture — where you can get creative and where you must keep structure for scanning accuracy.
• Explore the difference between static and dynamic QR codes and how to embed your chosen URL — whether it leads to your website, portfolio, Instagram, or a secret digital surprise.
• Connect ancient craftsmanship to modern storytelling — creating a mosaic that not only looks beautiful but invites interaction.

This course isn’t just about technique — it’s about connection.
It’s about slowing down in a fast-moving world, layering intention and beauty into every tessera, and then sharing your creation with a single scan.

Whether you’re an artist, educator, designer, or curious mosaic explorer, this course will show you how to transform cold digital code into something warm, tactile, and enduring — a handcrafted portal to your world.

As Rachel says, “The future of mosaic depends on finding new ways in — new eyes, new hands, new tools.”
