Two day mosaic course (exterior mosaic)
A two day course in making a mosaic for indoors or outdoors using the direct method. This can include mixed media such as found objects, pottery, pebbles, mirror, along with traditional glass and ceramic tesserae. On this course you are welcome to bring your own broken pottery or other materials to include in your work. You will be able to make, for example, a decorated terra cotta plant pot, pebbles, a mosaic to hang on a tree, fencing or wall such as a sun catcher, a bird, dragonfly or butterfly, or a design of your choosing. The method involves placing material directly into a bed of cement based adhesive- it is a fun and free way of working. The finished mosaic can be placed indoors or out in your garden to enhance planting or add colour and interest. You are welcome to book two separate days if that suits- email me to arrange this.
