Monday Mosaics Evening Classes 

Picture
​Dates - to be confimed
​

These sessions are suitable for absolute beginners who are looking to learn a new skill from scratch along with regular and returning students who enjoy the feedback, and camaraderie of the group. Many students have found that this is precious time and space carved out in the busy week to immerse oneself in ongoing projects or experiment with new techniques. 
Natural and found materials seem to be an emerging theme!
Come with your own designs and ideas or be guided through a project.

​Price includes materials (unless extra large or unusual!) also bottled or canned drinks and a variety of individually sealed snacks. Please bring a flask if you prefer hot drinks.
