What happens in this class?

Create a modern abstract mosaic using a variety of slate stones in different shapes and colours, and add accents of smalti in bright colour. Your finished piece will be 25x25cm.

Understand the direct method, which means applying the material directly onto a wedi board surface with cement tile adhesive. You will learn about making aesthetic decisions for your piece and consider composition, contrast and pattern dictated by the sized of the slate available.

The stones you work with don’t need to be cut, and you will also use pre-cut smalti for this course.

Loved this day, opportunity to play and learn a new technique. Appreciate Rada's teaching and support.

I think this course is a great idea and an interesting medium to explore however it needs to be a two day course as there was not enough time to finish the project. At the end of the day I was frustrated because I was leaving with something unfinished.

This was an excellent course and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think we were all of the same opinion though that it just wasn’t long enough! It was a shorter day (11-3.30) than your other day classes and if it had been 10 to 4 or so that would have made an enormous difference not only to the attendees but also I am sure to Rada as well. She was so conscientious and anxious to make sure that everyone had adequate knowledge and materials to finish the work at home if necessary but I know it meant she was working way over the scheduled time span. Please thank her! So the only reason I have given 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the time factor but am obviously keen to stress that it is no reflection on Rada!
