During this 3 day course with Julie you can reflect your love of nature, art, pattern, landscapes, or any other imagery appropriate to use as background. You can create an amazing welcome to your home with a beautiful mosaiced house number like no other.

*Suitable for indoor/outdoor display.

All materials are provided, but if you have something personal you wish to incorporate into your work, then please do bring it along.

You will:

– Draw out your number(s) and background
– Create the number(s) in either glass, tiles or polymer clay
– Select and use a variety of materials such as tiles, stained glass, china into your design
– Follow the Andemento or flowing line to create a coherent background image

Please note there is a £35 material charge payable on the day. The tile size will be 10in by 10in

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, space and guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors plus 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 is some flexibility depending on how your work is progressing. Depending on the tutor and the group, start times for day 2 can be flexible too.

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 items with you:

- Ideas for your design. These can be photos, sketches,
- Meaningful items you wish to incorporate ...coins, jewellery, buttons, crockery, fossils, etc. though please note that if your number plate is to go outside, then this item will need to be water/weatherproof.

- An apron - grouting can be messy.
Also, it is suggested that appropriate footwear is worn - preferably no open- toed sandals or flip-flops.
