Mushroom and Moon Mosaic Workshop
Create a crescent moon and a funky mushroom mosaic.
Workshop information:
No experience needed- this class is for the grown-ups who love Halloween! You'll be guided by Nicola (aka Mrs Mosaic) a friendly teacher and provided with a range of colourful mosaic materials to help create a crescent moon (you can choose waxing or waning) and a funky mushroom mosaic. You will explore basic techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment.
By the end of the session, you'll have two seasonal pieces of mosaic art to take home. Suitable for the garden, your mosaics can be displayed all year round or brought out yearly to add your personal style to your home seasonal decorations- and remind you of the joy of having made something special!
All materials are provided, including a goody bag with instructions on how to grout your mosaics and make them weatherproof when you get home.
This class also includes a slice of homemade cake and hot drink of choice.
