Creative Exploration R 680
3 Sept, 15 Oct, 26 Nov 9am - 4pm
Connect with your creative spirit through visualisation, drawing and multi media mosaic making. In this workshop we do not use patterns or work according to preconceived ideas but instead we play and discover the joys of colour, mood and mosaic while learning the process of making mosaic. When we let go of the 'task' magic happens. You will complete a mosaic panel approx. 250x400 or 300x300 to take home.

This workshops is great for beginners as well as anyone who would like to explore the process of creative expression through mosaic. It will give depth to your mosaicing experience that can also be applied to other mediums.

Leaves and Flowers R 1200

This is a wonderful project to experience the process of trans-lating an image into mosaic and also gives you the opportunity to work with the visual layering of elements, line, shadow and specific cutting of mosaic tiles. In this workshop we will work indirectly using mesh over the image which will give you an added skill for future use.
This workshop is for mosaic enthusiasts preferably with ceramic cutting expe-rience and painters who would like to try out mosaic as a medium.
