Mosaics with Roz Wates

Absorbing, creative (and very sociable) – mosaicing is a great way to explore your inner artist. Whether it’s fun playing with colour and shape on a hot day, or a deeper dive into the challenging mysteries of classical mosaic, you’ll find yourself going home with some new skills and a beautiful mosaic you’ve designed and made yourself.

During the course, suitable for anyone over 14, you’ll learn how to: design your mosaic; cut and shape the tiles; lay them using traditional Roman patterns, and grout and finish off. A perfect memento of your time at Atsitsa!
