Mosaic Art
Linda Griffiths
Event Hours(1)
Everyone in the group started out as a beginner, joining at different times. New members are always very welcome and will start with a few small mosaics, then join in with the ongoing class project.
The projects cover different media – such as glass tesserae or ceramic tiles; different Roman, Byzantine and modern styles and subjects, such as borders, lettering, landscapes, still life or translating famous paintings into mosaic.
Some examples of communal artworks are the three ‘Pillars of the Community’ in the front garden of St Luke’s in The Avenue and the ‘Four Seasons’ mosaic tables in the Main Hall.
Everyone enjoys the class, finding it fun and very therapeutic.
All ages and abilities are very welcome, subject to class size restrictions.
