Join Joanna Kessel of Edinburgh Mosaic Studio for her new Introduction to Mosaic workshop. Come on your own or with a friend to enjoy a sociable weekend learning a new skill whilst making a mosaic mirror and abstract landscape mosaic. Your mosaics could become festive presents for friends and loved ones – a unique, handmade gift may be more pertinent than ever this year!

Day 1 will include my usual introduction to the basics of cutting and laying mosaic, good work practice, information about materials and suppliers etc. During the afternoon students will put these new skills into practice and create a small mosaic mirror using stained and vitreous glass and porcelain mosaic. Designs will be provided with colour palettes inspired by Bernat Klein’s woven fabrics, alternatively students could create a simple, unique design of their own.

Day 2 will build on the mosaic skills already acquired and introduce students to the joys of working with reclaimed ceramics. Students will be led through simple step-by-step stages to create a miniature landscape inspired by the shapes of autumn fields, the material qualities and the potential of mosaic as an expressive, creative medium. Some students have small items that tell a story, that that wish to incorporate, please feel free to bring materials with you - sea glass, crockery, pottery etc.Small tray frames will be available to buy from studio stocks.
