Mosaic making | private class for up to 8 people

Description

Discover the magic of mosaic making with Jacky Cox of Mossy Mosaic

Mosaicing fits in perfectly with our vision of a world where recycling, repurposing and upcycling is the norm. Jacky works with a variety of materials including glass, recycled crockery and natural materials like slate and sea glass, and finds the whole creative process from sourcing to creating absorbing, relaxing and mesmerising. 

On this 3 hour session, Jacky will help you create two mosaic items using methods you can do at home. You will begin by designing creating a grouted drinks coaster, and while this is drying, you will design a beautiful hanging heart using vitreous ('swimming pool') tiles.

Alternatively, you can create a beautiful coaster or heart using a selection of vintage tea cups - you may have some you wish to bring which are chipped or broken, or hold a special memory.

You will learn about mosaic equipment, including tile cutting techniques for vitreous tiles using a wheel cutter; grouting; and how to stay safe while mosaicing. 

You will take home two mosaic pieces, and have learned all you need to know to start your mosaicing journey.

The price includes refreshments, such as a selection of speciality teas and complimentary glass of fizz served up with cake or savoury snack.

The Arienas Collective private classes are run from our supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh’s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.

Access to all the equipment you will use is included in the price. 

Private classes can be themed to suit the occasion, such as a special birthday, hen do, or family celebration. Just let us know when booking and we can discuss the options.

On full day classes you are welcome to bring your own lunch. Alternatively, there is a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, cafés, supermarkets and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. We can also provide a buffet style lunch if you prefer, just let us know your dietary requirements and budget, and we'll source some options.
