Create custom mosaic signs with Amy in her Margate studio. Full-day workshop includes materials, design guidance, and techniques. Leave with your own unique piece.
Dun Roamin? Casa Mia? Amy Exton is a mosaic artist creating bespoke mosaics for interiors. Now you can learn the process from the expert. From her cosy, working studio in Margate, learn how to make an ornamental sign with a very contemporary flavour.
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
This is a full-day workshop, 9am - 6pm. When you leave, you will have a finished mosaic ready to take home and make a house very happy. Prior to the workshop, you will be sent a selection of traditional and contemporary fonts to choose from, so you can create your own custom lettering. There is also the option to design your own lettering to bring along on the day.
TELL ME MORE
During the workshop, you will transfer your design onto a wooden base before choosing from Amy’s collection of unglazed ceramic and vitreous glass tiles. Learn how to cut and shape your tiles with mosaic nippers before applying the tesserae (four-sided stone) to your design.
At the end of the session, you will grout the plaque, and it will be ready to take home.The size of the sign will vary depending on the design, but can be up to 30cm x 20cm. There won’t be more than five of you working in the studio, and snacks and hot drinks will be provided to keep you snipping and chipping.
Very Margate and very lovely. A sign for our times.
