An informal creative day making a mosaic plaque providing you with all the skills necessary to start making your own mosaics at home. No previous experience is necessary. Class size is limited to six people.

We will start with a short overview of the various methods, approaches and possibilities of mosaic making before focusing on the techniques of the art including materials, cutting, adhesives and grouting. You will then work on your own mosaic, either using your own design or choosing from a selection of pre-prepared templates. Your mosaic will need time to dry so the class will include a grouting demonstration and you will take home a small bag of grout and instructions to finish the mosaic at home.

The price of this workshop is £90 per person.

What’s included: Tools and equipment, ceramic and vitreous glass tiles, bases, adhesives and course notes.

What to bring: An apron or big shirt, design ideas and a shallow box to take your work home. Tea, coffee and wrapped biscuits will be available throughout the day.
