Roman style Mosaic Workshop
£50 per person
Spend a relaxing & creative afternoon making your own Roman Tesserae mosaic. Guided by artist and tutor Sarah Camplin, you will be guided through the process step by step, teaching you the ‘rules’ that the Romans employed in their ancient designs.
You will have 6 designs templates to choose from, all based on original Roman mosaics from across the world, dating from the 4th Century.
By the end of your session you will have completed your design and know how to apply the grout at home once your mosaic pieces have dried.
The size of the base used is 20cmx20cm.
This workshop is perfect for all levels of ability, no experience needed.
All materials, tools and refreshments are included in the workshop price so you don’t need to bring anything, just yourself!
Please note, due to the nature of the adhesives used in this workshop you will need to wait 24 hours for it to dry completely before the grout is applied at home in. You will be shown in the workshop the best technique to use and will have a practice run.
Hope you can join us 😊
