TERM CLASSES

Term classes meet once a week for 6 weeks.

This class will be suitable for all levels. Beginning students will create a stepping stone or wall hanging/trivet to get started. You will learn everything I cover in the Beginning Mosaics class and can choose to make either a ceramic or glass mosaic or if you have time, both. We all work at different paces and the tempo of the class is set by each individual.

If you already have mosaic experience or are an existing student wishing to work on your own project with support & tuition from me, this class is also great for you.

BEGINNING MOSAICS

This two day intensive workshop is an introduction to ceramic tile mosaics and an excellent starting point for those who want to study mosaics further or for those who just want to experiment with the medium. The workshop covers everything you need to know to create a mosaic that will last: safety, tools and their use, types of materials, substrates and adhesives suitable for both interior and exterior mosaics, setting tile, mosaic design basics, basic terminology and finally resources.

Grouting is covered on the second day. Students receive handouts with information covered in class and will make a 30cm sq stepping stone suitable for outdoor purposes to take home. No art or mosaic experience necessary! Please bring lunch.

GLASS ON GLASS MOSAICS

This two day intensive workshop is an exciting sub section of the mosaic medium allowing for privacy without compromising on light or heading down the road of traditional lead lighting. Choosing glass, cutting glass, specific adhesives for glass on glass (GOG) mosaics and substrates are all discussed in detail in this class.

Grouting is not covered in this workshop, though we do briefly discuss this so participants will have to feel comfortable doing this in their own time. Students receive handouts with information covered in class and will make a ~25m sq study piece suitable for outdoor purposes to take home. No art or mosaic experience necessary! Please bring lunch.

PRIVATE GROUP PACKAGES

Looking for a team bonding exercise, a Hen's Party idea or something similar? I can customise workshops with a specific project in mind. These private workshops are capped at 8 participants. Projects can be group oriented such as a lantern, birdbath, single wall panel etc or individual projects such as picture frames.
I am also offering private one on one sessions for individuals or small family groups to create a memorial mosaic to remember and honour someone you have lost.

Detail shot

Learn. Create. Inspire.

We all have an inner urge to create things with our hands, mind and soul. Time to reignite that spark!
