Workshops - on request
Macleod, Melbourne or at another venue

Spend time transforming tiles, broken crockery, stone, plastic and materials into a mosaic you can treasure for your home or garden. These sessions are held in my studio and garden in Macleod, north east Melbourne, or at a venue that suits you. After some planning and drawing time you can dive right in and start making picassiette-style mosaics.

Using reclaimed items is cost-effective, sustainable and creative way to create something you will be proud of.

No experience is necessary. Even children young children can assemble and glue pieces to make something colourful and joyful. Many people find the process of making mosaics very relaxing and meditative and time just slips away.

Testimonials
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon creating mosaics. Mum and I really enjoyed ourselves.
You are a wonderful inspiration. (Anna, workshop participant)
Making mosaics with Amanda is to immerse myself in a world of shape and colours that calms the mind and soothes the soul. My little collection of pieces for the garden is steadily growing. It feels good to let the artist in me come out and play every once in a while. (Lisa, workshop participant)
