Learn how to mosaic and create your own designed piece of garden art on a natural stone or paver.
Learn how to create mosaic rock art using broken china, glass, and tiles. This is an inspiring and therapeutic way to create a mosaicked paver or rock for your garden or as a gift. You will go home with your own artwork and a new hobby! Making mosaics in a group setting is a sociable activity which combines creating with conversation, and you will be inspired to continue making more mosaics at home.
Your course fee includes all materials (tiles, broken china, glue, grout, flat stone/paver) and a materials charge is included within the course fee.
For this weekend workshop, you'll plan and glue your mosaic on Saturday 10am - 4pm and grout/finish your piece on Sunday 9am - 12noon.
Who should attend?
Adults. Suitable for beginners or for those with some experience of mosaic art. Those wishing to try a new craft, or have fun creating with a group. Perhaps you've always wanted to try mosaic?
