Primrose Mosaics: Intermediate Glass Mosaic Worskshop
Unfurling Fern: Swindon, Wiltshire 
Friday 12th August 10am-5pm/ Saturday 13th August 10am -1pm 
 
If you have already completed my Beginners Glass Mosaic Workshop and would like to develop your skills to plan and execute a larger, more challenging project, then this is the perfect course for you. Also suitable for those who have had previous experience cutting glass and mosaicing elsewhere or are creatively confident. 
You will be given a fern shaped perspex base (approx 18cm x 50cm) which will come ready cut and drilled. We will spend the whole day planning, cutting and gluing your design. 
On the second day, we will be grouting, cleaning and attaching your fern to a metal pole. There is also the option of creating a 2nd small fern on day 2 (approx 16cm x 35cm) instead of grouting in the studio and then taking your 2 pieces home with instructions to grout yourself. 
All the materials you use will be weather resistant, so your finished fern can be placed outside to brighten your garden all year round. 
 
Cost includes all tuition, use of tools and materials.
Please bring your own lunch.
