What You’ll Create:

Under instruction from a qualified teacher and artist, you will cut and adhere colorful glass pieces to a clear glass base to craft a roughly A4 or A5 sized mosaic, depending on whether you choose the full or half-day course.

There will be a wide variety of templates available, but you can also choose to sketch out your own idea too. Choose your favorite colors and patterns to create something truly personal and eye catching.

What to Expect:

🔮Step-by-Step Guidance: Learn the essentials of cutting pieces of coloured glass to shape using a variety of tools. Design a pattern and then assemble your own glass-on-glass mosaic. Our immersive approach ensures you gain confidence as you learn, and our supportive and skilled instructor will be there to guide you at every step.

🌼 Finishing Options: Craft a piece that fits your own style and imagination. Opt to fill the spaces between the glass pieces with grout during the session, or leave them empty for an alternative look.

🧰 Creative Freedom: Experiment with a very wide variety of colors, shapes, and patterns to design a truly personal piece.

Refreshments are provided throughout the day, but please bring a packed lunch.

Whether you're looking to try a new craft or create a one-of-a-kind gift, this workshop is a perfect option. Unleash your creativity in a supportive and welcoming environment, and create something personal and beautiful.
