Mosaic Workshop with Lindsey Kennedy
Saturday 6th April 2024, 10am to 4pm
10 Places Available
£85 for the day including materials
Come and immerse yourself in the lovely craft of mosaic-making. This workshop will introduce you to a wide range of glass materials, simple tools and techniques to achieve a fabulous small mosaic. You will have the opportunity to experiment with hands-on experience of glass cutting and designing directly with the materials, no need for any drawn designs or prior experience. There will be time to grout and finish your mosaic. All materials are provided.
As we will be working with glass please ensure you wear covered shoes and bring an apron as grouting can be messy.
