Some may wish to embark on larger projects. If these are unfinished, no student will leave the course unsure how to complete them. We look at examples of mosaic tables, discussing practical considerations governing the selection of tiles and how mosaic materials can be used to their best advantage. We also discuss design, and learn the preparatory work involved in making a long-lasting table for outside.   INTRODUCTION: THE DIRECT METHOD 26–27 September 2009 £150 The direct method is probably the easiest of all mosaic techniques, although it can be used in highly sophisticated and professional ways. Unlike the indirect method, there is no transformation or reversal of image the mosaic you see as you work is the mosaic you end up.   INTERMEDIATE: DESIGN AND COLOUR IN MOSAIC 24–25 October 2009 £150 This course focuses on how to design for mosaic, and a range of effects that can be achieved by working with colour. Both subjects are immense — far wider than can be taught in a single weekend — but we will study the broad principles.We look at tone and intensity of colour, and hue and surface of materials. We will study both the materials themselves, and some completed work, to see how these principles can be practically applied.   INTRODUCTION: THE INDIRECT METHOD 10–11 October 2009 £150 This technique is the most practical of professional mosaic methods. After sketching out a design, cut tiles are stuck with washable glue onto paper on which the desired image has been drawn. When the mosaic is complete, it is taken to its final location (in this case, a board) and fixed with adhesive. The paper is then removed, and the tiles finally grouted.   FURTHER TECHNIQUES IN MOSAIC 7–8 November 2009 £150 This course is for those who have explored the basics in mosaic, and wish to extend their knowledge. We look at examples of contemporary mosaic, and cover working with some of the more professional mosaic materials, like smalti and marble.   BEGINNERS: DESIGN AND COLOUR IN MOSAIC 21–22 November 2009 £150 This course is an introduction to the principles of working with colour and design for those who are starting making mosaics or who want to extend the range of their experience. It focuses on how to design for mosaic, and a range of effects that can be achieved by working with colour.   Students will need to bring the materials they plan to use, as the courses are no longer held at our premises. We are happy to provide a list of what is likely to be required. We have everything you are likely to need both at our shop in Holborn, and in West Norwood. <a href="http://www.mymosaicworkshop.co.uk/shop/">SHOP> </a> Lunch will be provided on both days.

One -- the direct method –- is where mosaic is stuck directly to the finished surface. The other method -- indirect -- involves sticking to paper, taking the mosaic to site, fixing it, and removing the paper. Mesh can also be used, but this becomes part of the structure itself. Each technique has its advantages. This course offers instruction in and explains the virtues of both ways of working. A piece of work should be completed during the course, and if there is not enough time to complete two, both of them will certainly be demonstrated. Students’ understanding will be grounded well enough to ensure familiarity and subsequent use of the techniques. Contact Emma Biggs on <a href="mailto:emma@emmabiggsmosaic.net">emma@emmabiggsmosaic.net</a> Design and Colour in Mosaic <img src="http://www.mymosaicworkshop.co.uk/courses/Images/colour-web.jpg" width="150" height="183" /> 30-31st May 2009 Course fee: £150 Non-residential This course focuses on how to design for mosaic, and a range of effects that can be achieved by working with colour. Both subjects are immense – far wider than can be taught in a single weekend – but we will study the broad principles. We look at tone and intensity of colour, and hue and surface of materials. We will study both the materials themselves, and some completed work, to see how these principles can be practically applied. You should not necessarily expect to complete a piece. Instead, you will make small numerous experiments. These should be inspiring and enable you to go away and produce more sophisticated work as a result. The course is suitable for beginners, but those who have a broad understanding of the basics are likely to get most from it.

Beautiful results can be made by working with mosaic, and casting with sand and cement. We will make small paving slabs – using slate, pebbles, and exterior grade mosaic tiles. We will also study techniques for making mosaics onto walls and using panels outside, and decorating pots. We run a specialist table course, so table making is not covered here. If the weather is good, some of this course will take place outside.

We look at examples of contemporary mosaic, and cover working with some of the more professional mosaic materials, like smalti and marble. Colour, tone, cutting, reflectivity and some trickier techniques of mosaic are explored, both hands-on and through examples. We also look at how to approach larger scale projects.

The aim of the class is to teach students to respond to the nature of mosaic materials. Every mosaic material can be used in a number of different ways –for textural qualities and properties of colour, surface, or reflectivity. Wonderful results can be produced from a limited palette by extending the ways the material itself is used. We will be laying tesserae by the direct method. Every student should expect to complete a mosaic panel. In addition, small panels for experimental work will be provided. The course includes a day trip to Istanbul to visit some of the classic Byzantine mosaic sites.

We plan to feature the work of the talented mosaic community. Obviously this includes many people who use our mail order service, or visit our shops – but the site is not aimed at our customers alone. <a href="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/index.html">READ MORE</a> GALLERY There is also a ‘Gallery’, where we will showcase the work of interesting mosaicists -- for example the talented teacher Amanda Kahumba, seen below, whose work can be now viewed throughout June. <a href="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/galleries/index.html">READ MORE</a> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/images/amanda150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/images/maasai_gourds_150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/images/bird_150.jpg" width="150" height="150" />   NEWS There is a news section of the site that currently runs stories about projects we have been involved with at the Workshop -- but please feel free to contribute your own. <a href="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/news/index.html">READ MORE</a> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/images/enterprise_teaser_150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/images/made_in_england150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/images/hospital_griffin150.jpg" width="150" height="150" />   e-BULLETIN We will be producing a regular bulletin, featuring the images, news and information you send us. Each one will include a special offer – to promote an interesting or unusual product. In June we will be offering customers a 25% discount on hammers and hardies from Italy. These are the traditional mosaic cutting tool, and are ideal for work with stone and smalti, as those of you who attended Emma Biggs’ recent “Mixed Media” course will know. <a href="http://www.mymosaicworkshop.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cpath=10_60&products_id=67">READ MORE</a> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/shop/IMAGES/Hammer%20h.doc" width="150" height="150" /> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/shop/IMAGES/marbel.jpg" width="150" height="150" /> <img src="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/shop/IMAGES/opus.jpg" width="150" height="150" />   FAQ The Frequently Asked Questions section will provide helpful answers to your mosaicing queries. <a href="http://www.mosaicworkshop.com/society/technique/faq.html">READ MORE</a>   FORUM We will be creating a forum to discuss mosaic, whether it is to seek help with a technical problem, or contribute an answer to someone else’s enquiry or maybe a chance to gossip with your fellow artists.
