Description
Learn the basics of mosaic using glass tile and/or stained glass.
Classes are designed for adults, and do suit beginners, although those with some experience are also most welcome. First session is an introductory session, and will involve NO materials costs. In this session we can get to know each other, and I can understand your background in mosaics (if any), and the types of mosaics you are drawn to. We MAY do some basic cutting, and I will arrange to have a substrate suitable to your requirements available for the next session.
Your choice of two timeslots. NOTE: I must have at least 2 students in a session, otherwise the session will not go ahead. I charge $20 per hour:
- WED evenings – 2 hours from 5:30pm ($40 per session plus materials cost)
- THURS mornings – 2 or 3 hours from 9:00am ($40/60 per session plus materials cost)
- If you have booked, but are unable to make the session, please contact me at least 12 hours prior, so that we can re-schedule your session.
Classes are purchased in blocks of 2 (preferably consecutive) weeks. Please indicate the weeks you will be attending in the space provided when ordering. If the sessions are booked out, I will contact you.
