Step into the relaxing world of mosaics! In this workshop you will learn the basics of creating either a functional or a completely decorative mosaic, such as a trinket box or a piece of wall art.
There will be finished samples as well as possible designs that you can use to get your creative energy flowing. You will learn how to cut small glass and ceramic tiles using tile nippers, how to use the glue to fix them to the base, and some basic techniques on using the colour and shape of tiles to achieve movement in your mosaic. After the workshop, you will leave them to dry, and then they will be grouted and polished. When you return to pick them up, you can enjoy your one-of-a-kind mosaic!
