Abstract mosaic: explore colour, texture and mixed materials

About this course

Participants develop abstract mosaic work through practical studio sessions combining demonstrations, guided exercises and references to artists’ work. Activities include experimenting with surfaces, tiles and found materials, then cutting, shaping and assembling components to explore texture, depth, colour and composition. Teaching includes individual guidance, group discussion and feedback, with informal assessment integrated into the making process. Learners develop personal ideas through practical experimentation and may produce a resolved piece or samples during the course.
