About the Event
The Children’s Mosaic Art Workshop will be colourful & fun with the design being displayed on a terracotta pot, it will need to be shown off
Mosaic art is the creation of patterns or pictures using small pieces of materials such as clay, marble, glass, tiles, or stones. The pieces are often glued or cemented to a surface such as a wall, pots etc. The pieces are usually irregular shapes and were very popular in Ancient Rome. Mosaics have developed into a popular craft and art, and are not limited to professionals. Today's artisans and crafters work with stone, ceramics, shells, art glass, mirror, beads, and even odd items like doll parts, pearls, or photographs. While ancient mosaics tended to be architectural, modern mosaics are found covering everything from park benches and flowerpots to guitars and bicycles. Items can be as small as an earring or as large as a house. They’ll be lots of choice of tiles and colours to make your terracotta pot look unique and beautiful. These will be glued down and then with a grout spread across the design to fill in the gaps, it will look amazing. The pot will be primed/sealed before hand to make sure this doesn’t affect the durability of the tiles. Everything is supplied for you, a drink and snack is included in the price, along with my guidance and expertise and you’ll take your masterpiece home finished to display with pride. £15 with a Sibling / Friend at just £5. Eventbrite charge an Admin Fee but I don’t at info@taylordcrafts.com FREE parking is available on the Retail Park, park by NEXT and walk through the shop and the Creative Coffee Shop is on the right.
