Mosaic - Peter Massey

The Course (Two days)

"Thankyou both so much for such a delightful weekend. You are superb hosts as well as teachers. We had a wonderful time and certainly hope to return, this time for a little longer so we can explore the area. I am definitely hooked on mosaic work." M.G. (Helensburgh)

The course begins with an inspirational slide show followed by instruction on materials and shaping techniques. Students will go on to pursue their own creative projects in the style and material of their choice, working from their own design or one provided by Zantium. Grouting and finishing demonstrations conclude the workshop.
