Join this fun course in Canberra and create a light from a glass block and stained glass!
This is a fun course suitable for the beginner although more experienced mosaicists can work on a more complex design.
You take home a timber display stand and a set of string lights to insert into the block. Your design is limited only by your imagination (and the size of the block)! Use one of our simple designs or we can help you develop your own.
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 10 am - 4 pm. You will design your light, shape stained glass and apply it to the block.
Sunday: This morning (9:30 - noon), we will be grouting the block using a super-smooth cement grout. Your light is ready to take home and amaze your friends! Alternatively, you can elect to take a grout pack home, 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
