About this event
This 4 hour workshop enables you to learn the art of mosaic: from design through to a finished piece.
You will have the opportunity to create a mosaic on a board or on mesh, depending on whether you want the mosaic for indoor or external installation.
Over the 4 hours you will be guided through the design and making process to learn the techniques needed to create a beautiful mosaic.
If you have a specific project in mind, that's great please bring your design ideas and measurements. We can help you kick start your project and you will have the opportunity to purchase additional tiles and equipment if you have a bigger, more ambitious project in mind.
If you don't have anything specific in mind then we recommend spending some time looking online at mosaics for some inspiration.
*NB – Projects will need to be grouted at home. All grout is included in the cost and you will get a demonstration on how to do this.
Booking in advance is essential.

Frequently asked questions
We have parking on site.
Yes, google maps recognises where we are. We are a 10 minute walk from Leeds train station.
Mosaic isn't particularly messy but you will be using PVA and handling dusty tiles. We recommend bringing an over shirt or apron to protect clothes. Or wear old clothes.
No! The idea is you will get a whistle stop run down of the basics and create a little mosaic to take home.
We recommend looking at Pintrest or googling mosaic design before you come so you have an idea of what you may want to create so you don't waste time thinking about it. But no worries if you don't manage to do this we have plenty of ideas up our sleeves!
We have tea and coffee on tap. We usually have biscuits. You are more than welcome to bring lunch.
