Description

We run a professional mosaic school in London called the London School of Mosaic, and we have put our expertise into an online short course showing you how to create beautiful mosaics. This is an introductory course and with our experience we are hoping to teach hobbyists and artisans alike a new skill. We will take you through the whole process step by step and regardless of your experience, by the end of this course, you will have the fundamentals of the indirect method of mosaic, as well as two beautiful pieces to show your friends and family.

Over this course we will take you through how to produce mosaics using the indirect method. We will teach you by making two mosaics of different designs along with you, and describing the steps as we go.

We will also let you know where to find the necessary materials needed to make a mosaic, how to draw designs, show you contemporary mosaicists making beautiful work right now, a selection of professional finishes for your mosaic and hopefully you will enjoy yourself along the way.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner craftspeople looking to learn a new skill

I am an artist living in London, after graduating Central Saint Martins in 2015 I was awarded several positions in alternative education courses and also worked as an artist assistant for artists such as Phyllida Barlow and Cathy Demonchaux. This year I am a resident on the Conditions studio program, am embarking on The Stokkoyart Residency in Norway, and am exhibiting mosaics in several exhibitions over the year. I have been working with the London School of Mosaic since 2019 on various projects and recently joined them as a permanent member of the team.

I trained in Fine Art Painting at Wimbledon College of Art for my undergrad during which I discovered mosaic as a socially-engaged practice through volunteering at a mosaic studio called Southbank Mosaics. I contributed to a range of public art projects and in particular was commissioned several memorial portraits, which I specialise in. In 2017 I co-founded London School of Mosaic, currently overseeing their education portfolio. I also hold a PhD in Geography, researching the relationship between art and place.
