ONLINE MOSAIC COURSE
In this hands-on workshop, we turn intuitive paintings into our own handmade tesserae. (Mosaic tiles) With nothing more than a pair of scissors, you’ll learn how to cut paper just like glass, creating abstract shapes, patterns, and textures that come together on your mosaic squares.
We learn about colour coordination, composition, and flow, and then adding beads and other inserts for extra depth and personality. Whether you love planning every move or prefer working intuitively (my personal favourite), this course gives you space to experiment, explore, and develop your own visual language.
