Event details

The Workshop

Your tutor, Helen, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “This is a taster session and will lead into another whole day workshop for those of you who get hooked straight away!

I have been working in mosaic for 25 years and will bring some of my smaller mosaics and portfolio to show you.
At the workshop you will be using traditional materials and cutters to make your own mosaic to take away.
I will demonstrate different techniques as you work on your pieces. There will be books and photos of other mosaics for inspiration as well as my mosaics to give you ideas.
All tools and materials will be provided including safety goggles so that you can enjoy the session.  You will have a choice of glass and ceramic tiles to work with and some pre-cut bits for those who find it more tricky to cut the tiles.
By the end of the session, you’ll have an idea of how mosaics are made and a mosaic ready to grout at home or at another workshop!”
