Introduction to Mosaics

  • Lark Design Make 36 Dogfield Street Cardiff (map)

Make a pair of coasters, a classic circle design, wreath or mirror!

Join us for a mindful few hours creating a beautiful mosaic using stunning tiles. 

This is a Christmas edition mosaic workshop where we get out extra festive coloured tiles in addition to our usual matt tiles so if you like you can create a lush Christmas mosaic piece but we are also happy for you to create something not christmassy ;-) 

We’ll guide you through all the steps from planning your design, preparing the background and then using our wheeled tile cutters to create a variety of tile shapes. We can help you choose a design that suits the level of difficulty that you are comfortable with. Please note that cutting the tiles requires non stop use of hand tools and can be tiring on the hands and wrists.

At the end of the half day you will have affixed your tiles to your wood base, but it will need time to dry before grouting, you can choose to do that at home following our easy video tutorial and provided grout and mixing pot or you can return to the studio during one of our crafty catch ups for free to finish your piece.

You can choose from the following options for your design (please note the time and price differs for all of these options) 

ALL WILL START AT THE SAME TIME. 

  • Pair of 10cm Coasters - will take up to 3 hours (£40)

  • A 20cm classic round design which can be used as a trivet/plant stand/art piece - will take up to 4 hours (£50)

  • a 30cm wreath or mirror - could take up to 4.5 hours (£56)

All our workshops include refreshments.
