Janine has been running mosaic workshops from her studio in south London since 1998. The weekend workshops are aimed at beginners and designed to be fun.
'I love doing this.... you forget how it feels to do something creative' Kirsty, November 2008
Weekend workshops
Make a modern item of memory ware
Have you broken a favourite piece of china? Would you like to make something new with it? Do you have a collection of pebbles, trinkets or glass beads that you would like to do something with?
Make a very special and personal mirror frame to gift or to keep which incorporates a personal selection of objects. In the first session we will use the direct method to glue the items to the frame. In the second session we will grout and finish the mirror ready for hanging. £45
Each workshop runs over two sessions.
New dates & times for 2009 coming soon....

Make an unusual small round mosaic table suitable for indoor use using a range of recycled materials or personal memorabilia. Make your table a talking point over a cup of coffee!

Bring your own plant container or table to mosaic or use the ones provided. Tools, equipment and basic materials are available to use during the evening. Collect personal items to include in the mosaics, for example broken china, pebbles, shells, trinkets, buttons, beads. Objects can be recycled and reused in mosaic - items made from glass, metal, ceramic and plastic can be used and do not have to be completely flat e.g. cutlery, broken mugs...
*Early bird discount £5 for payment and bookings 4 weeks in advance.
Bespoke Classes
Workshops can be designed especially. If you are looking for a hen party, corporate team building activity or a children's party, Janine can devise a workshop. Janine is a qualified and experienced teacher (PGCE) and has an enhanced CRB disclosure and public liability. As well as teaching private workshops Janine has run workshops in schools and at arts festivals and venues including Lewisham People's Day, Hackwood Festival, the Barbican and Sedgehill School.
