Mini mosaics are really quick and simple to make - but can create a real design punch with colourful glass pieces and a set of three mosaics to make a “triptych” set.
You can have the finished items as either:
- A triptych set on a backing board
- A set ready to hang on a wall as singles
- On a large sturdy jumpring ready to hang as a cute pendant set (or earrings).
- On a cord for an heirloom Christmas ornament.
The class covers:
- Preparing your bases and materials.
- Planning and choosing simple designs to make your mosaics really pop
- How to snip your glass down into tiny pieces if needed (most pieces are already cut for you)
- Working with adhesives, tips and tricks with tools.
- Finally, we will cover grouting and finishing your mosaics - including mounting options and more.
Some students may finish in time to grout your pieces - seeing these pieces are SO small, they are often dry enough for grouting. Or you can take your grout away to do at home, or leave with us to grout for you and collect in a few days. (There’s a small fee attached to that part.)
This is a warm and friendly class with excellent support and learning for complete beginners and those who want to begin to work with hand-cut glass terrerae.
All tools are supplied, though you are welcome to bring your own tools and glass if you have them. Your materials for the class projects are supplied as part of your course fee.
Young makers aged 12 and up are welcome to join the class, as long as they are able to work safely with sharp glass and tools.
Anyone under the age of 16 must attend with an enrolled parent or caregiver who is there to support them and participate alongside them.
