Britain's What's On Event Guide
Garden Mosaic Workshop
Taking inspiration from Henshaws woodland garden, during this workshop you will make a weather proof mosaic plaque to take home at the end of the session ready to display in your own outdoor setting.
First we will explore the garden and work on designs from the plants, trees and landscape which we will then transfer to a plywood plaque ready to mosaic. You will be shown how to simplify drawings to use as motifs suitable for mosaic, to cut and apply tiles and tesserae correctly and to then grout and clean your finished design.
You will be encouraged to experiment whilst making and filling in your design, from a range of coloured tesserae, patterned china and other mosaic pieces.
The plaque will have a pre-painted and varnished back to make it weatherproof and suitable for the outside.
The workshop is led by artist Shirley Hudson who runs the mosaic workshops at Henshaws. Shirley is responsible for facilitating the making of the mosaics around the Arts and Craft Centre site and has experience of both individual and community mosaic projects.
The workshop is suitable for beginners and more advanced.
