Mosaic making with reclaimed china run by Mossy Mosaic - including afternoon tea

Description

Try your hand a transforming a reclaimed china tea cup, saucer or plate into a gorgeous mosaic with Jacky Cox from Mossy Mosaic, and join us for afternoon tea!

Mosaic making fits in perfectly with our vision of a world where recycling, repurposing and upcycling is the norm. In this relaxed and gently paced workshop, Jacky from Mossy Mosaic will show you how to safely cut old china using wheeled nippers and how to grout your mosaic to create a hanging decoration. No previous experience is needed – but those who have attended the introductory workshop and who are familiar with cutting techniques may have time to produce a second (un-grouted) piece.

During this 3 hour session you will also be treated to afternoon tea when we can sit and chat about mosaic making – or anything else you fancy!

You will be provided with all the materials needed, including a variety of bases such as hearts and flowers, to create your mosaic. If you would like to use a china cup or saucer you already have – perhaps an heirloom, or a special cup that is now broken - please bring it with you and we’ll see what we can do!

More information 

The Arienas Collective workshops, courses and events are run from a supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh’s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.

Spaces on our workshops and courses are limited so that our creative team of artists and makers can offer you the hands-on help and support you need to make the most of your time with us. 

All the equipment and materials you will need are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, plus light refreshments (a selection of Shibui teas, coffee, hot chocolate, and sweet or savoury snacks). On full day workshops you are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat inside or out; or there are a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, cafés, and restaurants, plus supermarkets, within a 5-10 minute walk.

PLEASE NOTE: Our workshop space is on the first-floor of a Georgian mews building and unfortunately we do not have lift access. The workshop space is in our home which is not nut free. Please let us know of any skin or food allergies before booking.

Private workshop bookings

Most of our workshops are also available to book for small private get-togethers; themed wedding and birthday celebrations; corporate team building and well-being purposes; and as in-store retail events. For larger groups, many of our workshops can be brought to a location of your choice.

Our workshops are planned with adults in mind. Many are suitable for teenagers, but some may require under 16s to be accompanied for insurance purposes. Please check with us before booking.
