About this event
Join mosaic artist Lisa-marie Newman to learn the rewarding process of Picassiette mosaic creation. Picassiette is from the French phrase ‘Pique – Assiette’, meaning ‘stolen from plate’ and is a wonderful way of using up broken/damaged ceramics and china, old unused tiles, along with other ephemera such as jewellery, buttons and shells. This course is suitable for complete beginners, those with a little experience or those who wish to learn the tips and tricks of utilising crockery and found objects in an artful way. Lisa-marie is a qualified art teacher and will guide you through the basic direct method of mosaic application, with insight and advice along the way to support your own design. The first hour will be spent deciding your design and mapping it out onto the bird templates provided. There will be plenty of inspirational images available and you will be able to complete a large bird or several smaller pieces. Lisa-Marie will then demonstrate safe ‘smashing’ and breaking processes as well as a variety of cutting techniques before you begin your creation. There will be a vast choice of whole crockery and pre-cut pieces to choose from, as well as more traditional tiles and decorative elements. The grouting process will also be demonstrated, step by step on the day.
