The Workshop

Your tutor, Helen, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “I’ll be guiding you through mosaic-making skills during this relaxed, day-long workshop, and I’d love for you to join me.

You’ll have the chance to create your own mosaic piece. You can choose from a range of animal shapes – a bird, fish, dolphin or elephant – or, if you’re feeling inspired, you might prefer to design your own image on a 20cm square base. Flowers, simple landscapes and patterns all work beautifully. I’ll have plenty of images here to generate ideas and help you decide if you’re unsure.

No previous experience is needed at all. You’ll be working on your own individual mosaic, so the day is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some experience.

If you don’t quite finish your piece during the session, don’t worry. There will be opportunities to come back and complete it, including grouting, or you may prefer to finish it at home. A bag of grout is included in the workshop fee so you’ll have everything you need.

All tools and materials are provided – just bring along an image if there’s something specific you’d like to work from. I’ll take care of the rest.”

What to bring on the day?

Anticipation to enjoy the whole experience!
