Would you like to learn how to create beautiful mosaics? Now is your chance!

Valerie. an experienced instructor and member of BAMM (British Association for Modern Mosaic) will teach a small group, leading you through the basic skills required in order to achieve some beautiful mosaic projects. Mosaicing is not just sticking square tiles into a pattern or picture! You will be taught the correct cutting and layering techniques leading to the creation of your own projects.

You will start by making a simple coaster. All materials will be provided initially - you will only need to bring a pair of eye defenders (mosaic tiles can fly as you cut them) and an empty shoe box or equivalent. The cost of a session will be about £4 to begin with, but as you progress to more complex makes, the price will vary according to your chosen project.

After the first three sessions, you will have acquired the knowledge and skills to work on an individualised project of your own choice which may be completed over several sessions.

Although the sessions will be held on the second Monday, there is the option to attend more frequently on the other Mondays of the month.
