Course Contents

All students will be sent by e-mail a comprehensive eight page Mosaic Guide with mosaic techniques, suppliers and types of materials as well as grouting information, how to site the mosaic and health and safety techniques. On arrival there will be a power point presentation introduction and then an opportunity to browse through a library of mosaic books and resources. Participants then choose from a wide selection of mosaic tiles and set about their own mosaic project. Liz de Ath is on hand to give as much guidance as required. The courses offer:

• A real opportunity to tap into your creative self.
• The possibility of making a mirror, tabletop, planter, splash back for your bathroom or other architectural feature to enrich your home or garden.
• A finished piece of mosaic artwork that is all your own work.
• The mosaic-making skills and self-confidence to tackle further mosaic projects independently.
