Our mosaic work is mainly made onto plywood, cut into our required shapes from design work, or applied to furniture and household items such as tables, mirror frames, plant pots etc.
We either use glass tesserae that we buy in or donated tiles and crockery. The process involves creative design, application of tiles using glue, grouting with tile cement and finishing (painting, varnishing and addition of fittings).
Artmakers are facilitated to work on all or parts of the process, depending upon level of ability, likes and dislikes. The workshop leader, assistants and volunteers work alongside Artmakers to assist with this.
Alongside the production of mosaic we also encourage the production of drawings, paintings and relief artwork. We work across workshops to produce bodies of work in different materials.
Weekly Structure: Each week, we follow a consistent yet flexible structure.
