Spend a fantastic day with Julie learning the essentials of working with mosaic to create a mosaic hare. Whether leaping or gazing, dancing or sleeping, whichever hare you love, create it with glass, tiles, and other jewel -like materials.
Your day will include:
– Drawing out your Hare and background.
– Selecting materials to best work with your design.
– Using cutting techniques to create tesserae of specific shapes.
– Incorporating some mosaicing techniques such as Vermiculatum to enhance your design.
All materials are provided, but if you have something personal you wish to incorporate into your work, then please do bring it along. Also note that your mosaic hare is suitable for indoor display only.
What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
What you’ll need to bring with you
Please bring the following if you have them:
- An apron - grouting can be messy.
- A pair of tweezers.
- Small pointed tool such as a metal nail file or very small screwdriver.
- An idea/inspiration for your design - could be a favourite photo or drawing.
