Make a modern item of memory ware |
Have you broken a favourite piece of china? Would you like to make something new with it? Do you have a collection of pebbles, trinkets or glass beads that you would like to do something with? Make a very special and personal mosaic mirror frame which incorporates a personal selection of objects.
In the first session we will use the direct method to mosaic the mirror frame. In the second session we will grout and finish the mirror ready for hanging on the wall. |
