You will be taught the basics of cutting and fixing tiles to boards to create small decorative wall pieces, and make two small mosaics during the day.
The first will be a coaster to learn about materials, cutting, arranging, fixing, grouting, colour and design. The second will be a 15 or 17cm square which will celebrate or reference West Dean Gardens through design and subject. You may wish to source and incorporating elements from old plates and cups into your design if you wish.
Grouting will be demonstrated and grout supplied for you to take home. The tutor will discuss how to do this, as grout cannot be applied the same day because the tiles might not be fixed.
