2020 Workshops
Beginners workshops
(for adults and children
Due to COVID-19, workshops have been postponed until restrictions allow gatherings of two or more people.
Please get in touch if you would like a mosaic session on Zoom. If you have tools and other materials we can make this happen!
Spend time transforming tiles, broken crockery, stone, granite and other materials into a mosaic you can treasure for your home or garden. These sessions are held in my studio in Macleod and provide an introduction to the picassiette style of making mosaics.
This is a cost-effective, sustainable and creative way to salvage items that would otherwise be discarded.
Mosaics can be made by all kinds of people and no experience is necessary. Even children as young as four years old 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.
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon creating mosaics. Mum and I really enjoyed ourselves. You are a wonderful inspiration. (Anna, workshop participant, 2019)
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. (April, workshop participant 2018-2019)
