Mosaic Garden Mirror

---

Join us for this unique mosaic workshop amidst the enchanting setting of RHS Garden Hyde Hall. Design and create a decorative mosaic piece to enhance your garden space. Whether you're new to the art of mosaics or simply looking to try something new alongside like-minded individuals, this promises to be a day filled with fun and creativity.

Have fun being introduced to a simple method of making mosaics under expert guidance. You'll explore laying and design techniques including how to choose suitable materials, bases, and adhesives. There will be a demonstration on grouting, enabling attendees to complete their pieces at home if necessary. Through this you will make a small mirrored mosaic panel to bring light to a corner of the garden.

Tutor: Nicola Upton from Mrs Mosaics trained in 3D glass design in the 90s and uses her experience and knowledge to create pieces incorporating or consisting of glass. She also likes to experiment with sea glass found whilst foraging near her home in Leigh-on-sea.
