Outdoor mosaic workshop: create a personalised house number

About this course

Participants plan and make a personalised mosaic house number intended for outdoor display. The workshop introduces design planning, tile cutting and shaping, arrangement, and methods for securely fixing materials to a surface. Teaching combines demonstrations, guided exercises, exploratory activities and individual support, with learners developing their own piece through practical studio work. Informal assessment and feedback are integrated throughout the session, while group discussion provides opportunities to consider techniques and approaches.
