Sandy Robertson has taught thousands of people to make beautiful mosaics over the last 2 decades at her beginner to advanced mosaic workshops in Brisbane, overseas and in many schools and communities. 
Teaching and fabricating amazing mosaic murals is Sandy's passion.


Many students have gone on to run mosaic businesses and amazing artworks.  Sandy is proud of every student and knows once your hold a pair of Magical mosaic Leponitt mosaic cutting tools in your hands, it's usually the beginning of a lifetime of mosaic making.  Sandy's art is well known, and she teaches diverse methods and uses a wide range of mosaic materials to turn into mosaic "tesserae". Find your own mosaic flow (andemento) with Sandy. 

Whether you wish to create gorgeous mosaic garden pot planters, make mirrors, mosaic tables or wish to mosaic a wall - learn the basics with Sandy so every one of your mosaics lasts the distance.  Everyone can make mosaics, from kids to grandparents.  Use recycled materials and/or gorgeous glass, pebbles, stones or whatever to desire! 
Sandy will teach you how to shape, break, smash, create, glue, grout, seal ad more.  You are only limited by your imagination.  Don't just stand there, book in today!
I look forward to seeing you in your glass at Studio OzMosaics, in Brisbane.  Phone us for a chat or more info.  

Student comments:
Beginner Class:   "When I attended OzMosaics Beginners course I knew not one thing about mosaics.  Boy did that change quickly!  Sandy is absolutely bursting with knowledge, enthusiasm, experience, techniques, tips, tricks and great mosaicking stories.  The workshop had a lovely welcoming and personable atmosphere and her passion for mosaicking is just so contagious.  By the end of the day, I felt so motivated and confident to start my own mosaicking journey.  An absolutely fantastic day and so worthwhile for anyone who wants to try this fun craft! "    Michelle.


Advanced Course:    Wow!  Talk about value for money!  Our day was jam packed with even more information, techniques and hands on fun!  And the nicest part is that I took home a unique 3D mosaic that was my personal creation yet made with the help of Sandy’s expert knowledge.  Not sure if the best part was smashing wine bottles, cutting glass, oozing grout, or just the great company!  I’d definitely recommend this course to challenge those further who have already done the Beginners Course.  Fantastic!".   Michelle

Use your imagination, explore Sandy's studio and mosaic store; be inspired to create mosaics for your home, gifts, garden and who knows where it may lead?  Love OP shops? Sandy will help you reshape and embed found objects, precious mementos and more into your mosaic art and crafts.

WHATS HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT?
Sandy completed/installed a mosaic mural commission for a local Wooloongabba PreLearning Centre - it's absolutely gorgeous!
A stunning backsplash mosaic mural commission has been installed in a private home at the Sunshine Coast.
New mosaic workshops have been added in 2022/23. Check them out.

Sandy has resigned from her long-held role as MAANZ Queensland Rep and is now an enthusiastic general Member. Good luck to the new team!
She passed on the Queesland section of the Mosaic Mural for Afghan Women "Hanging by a Thread Global Mosaic Project"  to the new Queensland MAANZ team.  OzMosaics ran workshops to make mosaic segments for this mural and organised many Queensland mosaic makers to participate.  It's going to be very beautiful and such a special meaning is cemented into this beautiful mural.
