Make a Picasso-style creation of a funky face mosaic using scrap materials such as broken tile, beads, fused glass, lampwork glass components, ceramics and slate.

• Learn to prepare a substrate with the hanging components.

  Spread a base layer of mortar and finish the edges.

  Select materials for eyes, nose and mouth and then apply them to the board.

  Draw sections of the face to decorate.

  Cut and shape materials for placement.

  Apply to board with coloured adhesive and fill in the sections.

  Finish the background.

This class is for beginners and anyone who wants a fun, relaxing day making art. Learn basic mosaic techniques and how to prepare materials using nippers, various adhesives and principles of layout. This is a good class to learn how to use slate as the face background is enhanced with slate (roofing material).

Materials included, but please bring any odd earrings or broken jewellery bits including broken crockery that you may want to use.
