Art Classes Brisbane is hosting a Mosaic Workshop for beginners in their art school located at The Gap.
The mosaic workshop is intended for artists who wish to learn the basics of mosaic making. Artists of all ages are welcome to join the beginners class which is held one Sunday a month at the art school in 12 Paltarra Street, The Gap.
Debra Pickering teaches art classes in a fun and supportive atmosphere. By teaching a limited number of students per class, she can focus on guiding her students to effectively learn a range of traditional mosaic techniques in the workshop.
The Mosaic Workshop costs $230 and includes all tiles, embellishments, glue, grout, sealer, tools, protective glasses, gloves and necessary materials, plus students can choose any base of their choice. A completed piece of artwork no larger than 30 cm x 30 cm is also included in the costs.
Available bases include a plaque (where you can mosaic your house number, a decorative flower, or a butterfly), a wooden food serving tray, a round terracotta serving tray, a rectangular terracotta plant pot, a larger square clay pot, a complete birdbath, and a fruit bowl.
Students are free to use the designs provided or they can bring one of their own.
Classes are either held “en plein air,” if the weather permits, or “in the funky art studio,” which features a beautiful tropical setting with relaxing music.
Classes include an hour of lunch break and free healthy morning and afternoon tea. Just don’t forget to bring your own food and make sure to wear a pair of closed in shoes.
