Description

This workshop is an enjoyable and relaxed introduction to the art of mosaic making at my comfortable home studio in Elvington, York. You will be able to create a unique bee, bird or butterfly ornament (or two!) to adorn your walls at home, or give to friends and family as a handcrafted gift. You will be introduced to the basic skills required for mosaic making and be guided through the process of cutting and shaping your own pieces to create a beautiful bee, bird or butterfly. All tools and equipment are provided. There will be tiles with a wide variety of colours, patterns and textures available as well as other decorative bits 'n' bobs. You are also welcome to bring along your own pieces of crockery or jewellery to include. The grouting process will be demonstrated and you will have a bag of materials and instructions to take home in order to complete your mosaic creations with confidence. There will be lots of images and examples available for inspiration, as well as cuppa, cake and friendly company. Excellent quality materials and equipment are included in the cost.

FAQs

I have been an Art and Design teacher for 25 yrs and can happily adapt the creative process to suit different levels of skill and experience, from complete beginner to confident creatives. There will be no judgement or expectation, just a shared enjoyment of the creative process.

You might like to bring an apron, but otherwise all materials and equipment are provided and included in the cost. Whilst cuppa and cake are available, you might like to bring your own snacks or packed lunch for longer workshops.
