In this hands-on course you will practice perfecting your cutting skills and investigate how to incorporate stained glass, mirror, tesserae, nuggets and more glass forms into your mosaic designs.

Discarded Materials=Creative Mosaics!
Course Code: C2347843
In studio 07/09/2022 - 07/12/2022
12 weeks, Wednesdays 10-12.30pm

During this practical course you will be collecting materials and transforming discarded objects into unique, works of mosaic art as well as creating new pieces. You will explore the origins of Pique-Assiette and consider how contemporary artists have developed this style using china and found tesserae. Glass and mirror are also materials often discarded and yet have so much creative potential. Sun spinners, frames and lamp bases are waiting to be decorated as well as pieces for the garden!

Cost - £85 for each block (3 evenings)

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. Come with your own designs and ideas or be guided through a project.

​Price includes materials (unless extra large or unusual!) also drinks and a variety of individually sealed snacks.

Friday 7th October 1.30-4.30pm   £15

These sessions are open to students from any of my recent courses or workshops (12 months), to come and work in the studio on current projects. This is not a teaching session but I will be around for help and advise if needed.
