Learn the art of mosaic design, with Helen Clues, an artist with over 20 years experience of working with mosaic. and practice the skills needed to make a beautiful mosaic hare, for indoor display.

We will be focussing on how mosaics ‘work’, the placement and flow, or ‘andamento’, of the pieces, how important the pieces are but also how important the gaps are too. We will be working with fabulous materials, including vintage crockery glass and ceramic, thinking about contrast and design to produce a beautiful personal piece

We will be mainly using hand cutting techniques and so hand and wrist strength are important, if you think you might struggle, please let me know as there are other ways we can work. The adhesive we use needs to dry properly so you will be given a grouting kit to complete this stage at home, although a full demonstration will be given towards the end of the workshop

Participants don’t need to bring anything at all but please wear closed shoes (no sandals). 

Aprons and goggles will be provided.  £25 for materials to be paid to Helen directly on the day
