Join north-Devon based tutor Adela Webb for a relaxed festive workshop where you will design and decorate your very own mosaic wreath to display outdoors. Taking inspiration from winter flowers and foliage, you will be guided to create your own winter flora-themed wreath. Learn how to safely cut vitreous tiles, choosing from a vast array of different coloured tiles. There will also be plenty of pre-cut glass to get you started, and Adela will be on hand to help with cutting and shaping tiles if needed.
Towards the end of the day, you will be given a grouting demonstration and grout to take home so that you can complete your mosaic once the tile adhesive is properly dried.
