Can I do this workshop if I've never made a mosaic before?

Yes. This is a great place to start as our focus is on cutting with traditional tools and laying techniques. The abstract format also means that the style is very forgiving - there are no "wrongs" or "rights" in this workshop.

What if I cannot make all 4 consecutive Wednesday sessions?

If you know you can come along to 3 sessions, I recommend you book into this class and we will work out another time for the 4th session.

Can I bring along stone inclusions or special pieces for my mosaic?

Of course! Your piece can include sentimental rocks and stones. My mosaic incorporates slate and small rocks picked up from the Tuscan hillside.
