Sarah’s Studio

Description

Come and spend the full day with Sarah and learn the basic skills of mosaic making. You do not need to have any experience of this craft, you will have the full day to complete your very own slate mosaic house number. Or if you would like to make something different, just let Sarah know. You'll work in Sarah's studio and have access to a large range of mosaic tessera (tiles), you'll learn to cut the tiles and place. Sarah will guide you through the whole process and give a demonstration for grouting. You can come with an idea or be inspired on the day. This is a brilliant activity to enjoy with a friend or relative. There will be a maximum of 6 students on one course. Please note that some people may take the full day to complete their mosaic, whilst others might produce work at a faster pace, I suggest 6 hours as this is the maximum amount of time I believe you will need.

What's included in the price?

A slate base - can be cut into a square, rectangle, circle or heart. Mosaic tiles to complete your project. All tools to use on the day. Refreshments are included throughout the day (please bring a packed lunch or sandwich) - please do let Sarah know in advance if you have any food intolerances.

Duration

6 hours

I love to collaborate with others whilst teaching and sharing my passion for the craft of mosaic. I run courses from my home studio for children, young people adults and families. Through my project work I enable young people to get enriched creative opportunities that might not be otherwise available to them. I have worked with local communities, schools, charities and hospital wards creating large pieces of public art in collaboration with others. I studied at Central Saint Martins College London and qualified with a degree in textiles, I have studied stained glass and warm glass and having been practicing the craft of mosaics since 2013 setting up my business Honey Mosaics in 2018. I live in a Milton Keynes, I have two young sons and a very friendly dog!

"I had a really great day with Sarah. It was very friendly and relaxed. Sarah was a good host providing helpful guidance, ideas and encouragement and I was delighted with the mosaic house number that I produced. Sarah has a great array of tiles and resources to bring your design to life. I would definitely recommend Sarah's courses."

Lesley Sparks reviewed: Children's Pumpkin Mosaic Workshop

"My 5 year old granddaughter made a fantastic pumpkin mosaic. Sarah was encouraging and made several suggestions which made the finished product something to be proud of. Her mummy loved her gift. We will attend again if a suitable day becomes available. Thank you Sarah for a lovely time"

Honey Mosaics responded:

"Thank you Lesley, it was lovely to meet you and your Granddaughter and I thought she did a fabulous job creating her mosaic pumpkin. I very much hope the grouting went well. I hope to see you both at another workshop in the future. Happy Halloween! Best Wishes. Sarah "

Rachel Forster reviewed: Full Day Workshop Mosaic House Number On Slate

"What a fantastic day. Sarah was so accommodating and full of expertise. My daughter and I had a wonderful day learning how to create a mosaic, under Sarah’s watchful eye and helping hands. We experimented with the huge array of tiles, glass, ceramic pieces and came away with a wonderful mosaic. Complimentary home made cake, hot chocolates, tea and the calming peaceful surrounds of Sarah’s studio and garden made this a lovely experience. We thoroughly recommend. "

Honey Mosaics responded:

"Thank you so much Rachel. It was lovely to meet you and your daughter. Your work was just brilliant and I hope the grouting went well. I would love to see a picture when your mosaics are up. I very much hope you go on to create your mosaic wall and if you need any advice please ask, it sounds like a very exciting project. If you ever fancy coming to another course in the future it would be lovely to see both yourself and your daughter again. All the very best, Sarah "
