Join Joanna Kessel of Edinburgh Mosaic Studio for a fun, creative day making colourful, abstract mosaic jewellery - a contemporary take on micro-mosaics and very popular in Italy. Come on your own or with a friend to enjoy a sociable day making jewellery as festive presents for friends and loved ones – a unique, handmade gift may be more pertinent than ever this year!
You will be guided through this simple but highly effective technique in step-by-step stages. Each student will be provided with 3 silver plated pendant bezels and there will be a wide range of materials available to use including stained glass (bright spectral hues), unglazed porcelain (easy to cut earthy tones), glass beads and marble. Additionally each student will be a given a few pieces of 24k Venetian gold leaf mosaic to use on the day. Ring and brooch bezels will be available to buy from stocks should you wish.
Some students have small items that tell a story, that they wish to incorporate, please feel free to bring materials with you – small beads, sea glass & pottery.
GUEST INSTRUCTOR
This autumn we will be teaming up with Joanna Kessel to host a series of mosaic workshops. We are excited by the possibility to explore the many interesting connections between stained glass and mosaic and these autumn workshops will kick-start that dialogue - we hope that you will wish to join us on this creative journey.
