Here comes spring! And to celebrate it's arrival, why not join me in my well-equipped studio for a fun, relaxing and inspiring day, creating a stunning mosaic wreath, inspired by the beautiful springtime flowers, that will add a pop of colour on display in your home.
You will have access to my wide collection of gorgeous vitreous glass tiles, ceramic beads, broken vintage plates and I will guide you through the tips and techniques to create a beautiful mosaic that you can be proud of.
Within a friendly, supportive and fun environment, you will:
- Plan a design
- Cut and shape your tesserae (tiles)
- Produce a mosaic using the ‘direct method’ (approximately 40 x 40cm) ready to grout
- Learn about the correct adhesives and grouts to use
No experience necessary, although I would recommend attending a beginner's workshop beforehand. (A Family Fun/Fun Together session)
We won’t have time to grout during the workshop, but a full demonstration will be given and you can choose from a selection of different coloured grouts to finish off your mosaic at home.
On: Sunday 22nd March 2026
From: 10 to 4pm
At: The Inspiring Creativity Studio, Lydney Park Estate. Lydney. Gloucestershire, GL15 6BU
