Mosaic Classes in Greater Manchester
Sorry - I currently have people waiting for classes so have closed my waiting list for the time being
My Teaching Studio is in Heaton Chapel, Stockport, (Cheshire/Greater Manchester) close to the local Station and just a 10 minutes train ride to Manchester. It is just off the main A6, and 5 minutes from M60 Junction1.
The large airy Studio is well stocked with a wide range of materials to inspire you, including glass tesserrae, ceramic tiles, vintage tiles, handmade pieces and many different shades of grout. Classes are small to ensure personal tuition and are suitable for complete beginnners. *Please note the Studio is an upstairs room in case of mobility concerns*
Classes run in blocks of 6 weeks, payable at the beginning of each block and run Tuesday evening and Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. The cost is £125 for a block of 6 classes (2020). If you cannot attend your regular class then it is sometimes possible to swap to a session on another day.
Please note the block is not a Course with a set plan, but a chance to make a mosaic in the style of your choice in a small friendly group. People will often sign up for more classes beyond the 6 week block, so please bear in mind if you come as a beginner that other people in the group are working on their own projects and are at different stages of learning. Most people find that working in a mixed group like this is inspirational.
I teach a variety of techniques and styles led by what you want to make. As a beginner you will probably come with an idea in mind but if you are not sure where to start, don't worry as I will support you to start a design of your own. I have ideas for simple mosaic designs you can adapt to suit you that are really effective. Most people will finish a small mosaic within 6 weeks.
All the work shown below has been made by students who started as beginners in my classes.
