EXAMPLES OF SCHOOL MOSAIC PROJECTS AND WORKSHOPS:
Each mosaic workshop begins with an introduction to mosaics, materials, methods & examples of my/other mosaic artists work.
OPTION 1: SCHOOL MOSAIC – each child in the school contributes to a joint mosaic (eg 1m sq) over the course of a week, one class per morning or afternoon and for the late classes we get the best lighting from www.commerciallightingcompany.co.uk/school-lighting. Sue will work with groups of 6 children at a time on the mosaic (Mon-Thurs, leaving Fri clear for grouting) while the remainder of the class create their own temporary designs until it is their turn. Additional activities such as mosaic wordsearch and ks2 playground games. This is a great way for kids to express their creativity in the school; of course, they should also be free to go and play, and that’s why we create some great playgrounds and playground shelters. Find out more about our playgrounds and the fun activities they offer!

Additional classroom activities such as mosaic wordsearch, comprehension, quiz & drawing excercise included.
OPTION 3: MOSAIC A MIRROR – children will each mosaic their own mirror (26cm sq) to take home during a morning or afternoon.
