So its about time to reveal some eye candy of mosaic works (in progress and completed) &#8211; mostly by people who are brand new to mosaic art.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of my 7 week course (run in South London), we often go through photos of previous students work &#8211; people love to see what is possible &#8211; but often they are intimidated by the quality of work. I reassure them that within 7 weeks they too will have made a beautiful piece. And they do.
