Mosaic
Workshops On hold at the moment while moving to the
U.K. I specialise in giving mosaic workshops at home in a friendly and informal atmosphere.
A typical
workshop morning usually runs from 9.00 to 12.30 pm. Coffee, tea and snacks are provided.
I bought and am still buying my tiles here and there, so I work with different
brands, qualities and thickness. This actually gives
my work a special character. I pre-smash all the tiles before the workshops and put them in little containers. You as a student can use all the
colours and materials you want. There are no restrictions in your choice of colours; therefore you can make your own
unique piece of mosaic art.

We start working on a flat surface to get technique and design possibilities under control
and to get feeling of mosaic... We make mirrors, hotplates, or blackboards.
2.Advanced:
We go a step
further and work on bowls and pots and use a mixed media of broken crockery and various shards, marbles, and all sorts of
other assorted objects. This type of mosaic is called pique assiette. I can offer you for example Memory plates,
door number- and nameplates, various flowerpots, bowls and garden tables.
3.‘Bring your own’
mornings:
Still in the mood... got the feeling… and enjoy working with others? Than come and work
together and ask for advice when necessary. You can make use of the material, choose a base from me or bring your own and work at your own pace. Applicable for students who have completed one
or two workshops. Choose your dates from above. New!!!! Workshop giftvouchers ....................... Call me and I send you the voucher.

Special courses 2010 coming up soon
|
|
Although there are a variety of surfaces you can mosaic on, I love to shop around for special items
and throw a course around them. I do not have an endless supply of each particular item which makes the courses completely
unique.
So I have a workshop of lovely big wooden bowls, inexpensive garden tables and nicely shaped flowerpots
all year round and this season the home made garden cushions to mosaic.
I will update my findings on this
page from time to time and if possible I will show you a picture with an example of the project.
These courses
are usually undertaken by students who have already completed one of the previous workshops.

Parties: You can also book a party with friends and
make a memory plate/table for a farewell or each of you works on your own project.
You just phone me with your
ideas and I will share my ideas so we can make a plan around it.
Children
and teenagers: Over the holidays I have mosaic workshops designed for children groups from the age of 9 year.
You can also come over for children’s parties or I can come to your place.( max.10)
Commission work: I also do commission work, you can give me for example all the
crockery you don’t use anymore and I will turn it into a nice memory bowl/plate or anything else you'd like.
I can make you a nameplate, a farewell present, a picture frame, a splashboard, I can mosaic your favourite chair or bench
in the garden or… whatever!
Your wish is
my challenge.
Email me for details.
