Primrose Mosaics: Glass Mosaic Worskshop
ChooseYour Own Project: Swindon, Wiltshire
Saturday 5th April 10am - 5pm /Sunday 6th April 10am- 1pm approx
If you have already completed my Beginners Glass Mosaic Workshop and would like to develop your skills to plan and execute a larger, more challenging project, then this is the perfect course for you. Also suitable for those who have had previous experience cutting glass and mosaicing elsewhere or are creatively confident.
I have included photos and some popular options on the pull down menu, but if you have any other ideas, then please contact me for advice and a price.
Typically you would be able to make:
- a teardrop on a pole 17x34cm
- a medium fern on a pole 17x50cm
- a medium fern on a pole 17x50cm + small fern 15x35cm
- owl on a pole 30x21cm
- 2x dragonflies 30x30cm, bees 20x22cm, butterflies 25x18cm on poles
- 2x stix 60/75x 5cm on poles
- 2x circles 20/25 cm
This obviously depends on ability and complexity of design.
If you have your own idea, then please contact me to discuss price and feasibility in the time.
On Day 1 you will be given your perspex base, which will come ready cut and drilled. We will spend the whole day planning, cutting and gluing your chosen design.
On the second day, you will either be continuing cutting and sticking your project or grouting your project. I will be demonstrating grouting, cleaning and attaching your piece to your fixing. If you do not get your piece grouted, you will be able to take your mosaic home with instructions and everything you need to grout yourself once your mosaic has dried.
All the materials you use will be weather resistant, so your finished pieces can be placed outside to brighten your garden all year round.
Cost includes all tuition, use of tools and materials.
Please bring your own lunch.
