Join this fun course in Canberra and get cracking for Christmas! Suitable for the beginner although more experienced mosaicists can work on a more complex design. If time permits and you wish to do another piece, there will be an additional charge for the extra base.
In this workshop I offer you lots of mosaic pieces to choose from, all with a Christmas theme! Suncatchers, candle holders, mini garden stakes, and Christmas ornaments - your choice. I have even included a glass mosaic on Canvas Board - no grouting (you may choose not to attend on the Sunday if you do this one)
All students will receive a 10% Discount Voucher to use in my store on their first shop (some exclusions apply).
Saturday: This course runs from 10am - 4pm. You will design your piece(s), shape stained glass and apply it to the base.
Sunday: This morning (9:30 - noon), we will be grouting using a super-smooth cement grout. Alternatively, you can elect to take a grout pack home on the Saturday, and grout in your own time.
There’s a maximum of 8 people in each class. A minimum of 3 students is required for this class to proceed.

    Merlin Mosaica is a mosaic retail store selling all things for glass mosaic across Australia (and internationally). It is the creative outlet for Ali Howson, who will be your teacher and guide in these workshops.
    I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. As a painter I have exhibited in Melbourne, and regional NSW.
    My key driver is a love and understanding of colour & texture.
    I have collected glass for many years and have visited glass factories in Venice.
    I made my first mosaic in 2005.  My material of choice is stained glass.
    After many years in IT, I decided to engage in my passion for colour and glass, and want to share my love of this medium with others
