You will be supported and warmly welcomed by our other mosaic enthusiasts and as your skills and confidence grow, you will very soon be creating fabulous artworks to grace your home and garden.

ABOUT THE CLASSES

Our classes are flexible, so once you book in for a class you can swap between the days and times on a weekly basis if you need to. This allows you to not miss any classes if your work schedule, sickness or a planned holiday come up in any 8 week block.

BEGINNERS will start by creating a sampler learning various styles of mosaic, cutting & laying methods. For this and all future new styles & technique samplers, I supply all materials.

Once you have completed the sampler – You can create a mosaic artwork of your choice. For this you will need to supply your own materials, but will have access to tools and adhesives during your classes. I have a large range of materials and can help supply backing boards or substrates to create a fabulous artwork. Start looking on Pinterest for inspiration and I can guide you every step of the way !

IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE there are so many different mosaic styles and techniques to extend your knowledge and skills. You can choose to keep extending these skills or just work on passion projects where you will have full technical support in design, colour theory and techniques as required.
