This workshop is designed for everyone to make a lovely a piece mosaic work for the inside your home. Modern mosaic work now uses many different tesserae from glass, bottle caps, beads, to different types of ceramic tiles to broken crockery.
It helps if you already have an idea when you arrive that way it can be transferred onto the substrate.
There will tiles and other tesserae available however it is always good to bring in some crockery of your choice as this makes your mosaic individual but it also allows you to have your own colour palette, it is suggested that you choose pieces of the same thickness.
Please be aware the glue requires a minimum of 10 hours to dry so grouting cannot be done on the day of the Saturday workshop.
I will show students the grouting process so that they can either take their pieces home to grout or leave mosaic work to be grouted and pick up the following Saturday.
Morning Tea will be provided
