Join this fun course in Canberra and create a pretty mosaic stake for your garden!
This is a fun course suitable for the beginner although more experienced mosaicists can work on a more complex design.
In this course, you'll learn how to make a wonderful garden stake. If time permits, you can make a second one for a small extra cost. Your design is limited only by your imagination! Use one of our simple designs or we can help you develop your own.
Saturday: This course runs from 10 am - 4 pm. You will be designing your stake, cutting the stained glass and applying it to the stake. You can also choose from our wide range of glass tiles if you prefer.
Sunday: This morning (9:30 - noon), we will be grouting the stake using a super-smooth cement grout. The last step is to insert the metal stake into the bottom of your shape. Alternatively, you can elect to take a grout pack home on the Saturday, and grout in your own time.
Note:
  • Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the workshop - time to grab a coffee and settle in. There is ample off-street parking.
  • There’s a maximum of 8 people in each class. A minimum of 3 students is required for this class to proceed.


Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 3 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

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
