'The Flower Bouquet'  in indoor / outdoor Mosaics with Helen Clues

Spend a lovely and inspiring day with Helen creating some beautiful mosaic pieces, using a combination of vintage broken crockery  (known as 'picassiette' in the trade) , coloured glass and ceramic tiles.

Over the day Helen will show you how to make a stunning flower bouquet/ pot design as in the photo - though you will be putting your own slant and accent on the piece so everyone's will be really different.. This is what makes Helens workshops so exciting- she comes with so many materials, so much to choose from and the results in the end are always stunning. Students will be working with a variety of mosaic materials, using the direct method of creating mosaics suitable for both interior and exterior display.

During the session you will learn how to plan your design, choose, cut, shape and assemble your piece. The afternoon will be for grouting and polishing to finish your projects. All materials and fixings for hanging finished pieces are provided. During this session students can choose to make up to two projects. You are welcome to bring any crockery of your own to incorporate into your work.
