This course will cover the basic steps, materials and skills which you need to organise and make a community mosaic, or a mosaic with a message. The course will be practical and you will work alongside the tutor to develop your skills. No previous mosaic or art skills are required. Mosaic is a wonderfully colourful and inclusive art and you will discover that you can make it as simple or as complex as you choose. Join us for this fun, face to face course.
