Have I ever mentioned that I love teaching mosaics?(!) If you are in or around London and want to dip your toe into mosaic making, I am doing two taster sessions in July, in the glorious setting of a lovely London pub (The Tooting Tram and Social).
The first taster is on the afternoon of July 2nd, and is part of the wonderful Crafty Pint series, organised by creative sisters Gillian (Fabric Nation) and Louise (Lou Lou Workshop). Details and booking here.
The second taster is on the afternoon of July 24th, also at the Tooting Tram and Social. This will be a art & craft pop-up (with loads of free stalls of different makers showing you how to do stuff…and cup cakes!). It is organised by the SW Craft Club. All details here.
um. wait. those are FIRST mosaics? unbelievable! Something tells me it has something to do with the teacher, though.
Yuppy. It amazes me too. Oh and *blush* you are sweet… x
wow wow wow. What amazing pieces. They must have one great teacher!
I love, love, love this website! I am a 3 month old mosaics addict and love reading all of these things and looking at the pictures. 🙂 Any tips on working with the grout would be helpful, I struggle getting the right mix of grout and water. Then I have trouble if my shards are not all the same height. But I still love it!
Blessings,
Mary
Hi Mary
thank you for such lovely feedback – you are kind! I mix grout til it looks like peanut butter (smooth!) if that helps. Also, look here http://glitteringshards.com/2012/magical-mosaic-making-process/ and you can see the process of dealing with different heights! Have a lovely weekend!
