Mosaic Courses
Joy offers one and two day courses. You can also arrange a longer course for a more complex project.
Joy is not currently running any two day courses- please contact Joy if you are interested in arranging a two day course.
Fee for one day: £45
Fee for two days: £90
On the one day course you will be able to make a mosaic for indoors, for example a small picture to hang up, coasters, a bee, seahorse, a sign for the bathroom or bedroom. You can work from your own design idea or Joy can help you come up with a design.
On a two day course you could work on a mosaic for indoors or outdoors. This could be a more complex project such as a pair of double sided sun catchers, or working directly into cement you could make a number or sign for your front door, or an owl or dragonfly for the garden. You can work from your own design idea or Joy can help you come up with a design. You will be able to make a mixed media mosaic, and on a two day course you could also choose to learn the classical indirect method working in reverse on paper. This technique can be useful if you wish to work later on a larger project.
For more information on the reverse/indirect method, or to buy paper and fixings to use with this method, please click here.
