2-hour workshop – cost £38.00

Come and join Sara to make a set of three mosaic Christmas bauble decorations. There are lots of design templates to choose from including: holly, robin, angel, snowman and Santa, or you may wish to draw your own designs.

During the class you will learn how to:

    Use glass nippers to cut and shape vitreous and patte de verre mosaic tiles to make your own tesserae. Note: Pre-cut pieces will be provided for those who prefer the no cutting approach.
    Design your mosaic considering borders, motifs and background. 
    Transfer one of the template designs or your own design to your bauble substrate.
    Glue your tesserae to your base – with the least amount of mess!
    Mix grout and finish off your pieces at home (instructions will be provided with powdered grout for use at home).

Advisory Note: 
This workshop involves the use of hand tools, however this is not obligatory and precut pieces will be provided too.

This class is suitable for beginners and adults over the age of 16 years only.
