Learn traditional techniques, create your own custom design, and take home a completed mosaic tile in this full-day experience.
Learn mosaic art one-on-one with Amy Exton in Margate. Discover ancient techniques from a contemporary artist who's designed for Dreamland, The George and Heart and Elsewhere.
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Mosaics are all around us, from kitchen backsplashes to art installations in parks. They have an extraordinary history. If you want to learn the basics of this fascinating craft and go home with a piece of your own design, this private workshop gives you the opportunity to experiment and learn in a cosy, stimulating environment alongside a passionate artist.
Amy will walk you through the process step-by-step. Create your own design, or ask Amy to craft a custom design just for you prior to arriving at her studio.
TELL ME MORE
Just you and mosaicist Amy Exton, one-on-one at her studio in Margate. This is a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of this ancient art form with a contemporary artist who has been commissioned to design interiors for Margate’s Dreamland, The George and Heart House, and the indie music venue Elsewhere. The Romans had Cirencester, Amy has Margate in her sights.
This is a full-day workshop, scheduled on a day that suits both you and Amy. Lunch will be provided at the studio, and be prepared to learn a lot—it’s just you after all, so you can ask all the questions you want as you work to complete your mosaic (15 to 20 cm), ready to take home at the end of the session.
You will work with unglazed ceramic and vitreous glass, using traditional tools to cut and shape your tiles. Learn about different methods of application, the principles of andamento (the flow of design), and importantly, how to grout.
The studio is filled with pieces made by Amy, and it’s fascinating to see her very modern twist applied to an ancient art form. Working with the artist in their own space is an exciting and unique experience. Enjoy.
