Students work on their own project (bring along a birdbath, mural, butterfly, whatever is of interest) using their own tools and mosaic supplies/materials or purchase tools, tiles, glass, glue, grout and other mosaic materials and supplies as you go, from OzMosaics Studio Store. Don't expect to complete in one day! Gain skills or tips and take the project back home to continue. Book in again if you need more assistance or wish to have a fun day with other artists working on their own project.
Sandy Says:
Spending time with other mosaic addicts in a fun atmosphere is a huge mosaic tonic - be inspired, laugh, share ideas and the joy of mosaics. Don't expect to create a mosaic in a day, but instead work along happily and come for one MAD Tuesday or more! Work on the Great Wall of mOs or work on your own projects at your own pace.
Maybe it's a good time to start making gifts for special occasions, birthdays, Christmas gifts, decorations and more!
This is not an instructional workshop, simply a time and space to work on your mosaic projects at your own pace and enjoy the company of other OzMosaics MAD Tuesday students.
Of course, Sandy Robertson and Popette (Maureen) will be on hand to help if needed. We hope to continually work on the Great Wall of mOs and may also need to attend to Studio Shop customers.
Don't expect to finish a mosaic or have full attention from Sandy, you will need to be able to work away happily on your own, much of the time. You will gain more knowledge and be very inspired though over many Tuesdays, if you wish to attend more than once. Sandy may advise you to enrol and do one of her MOS Mosaic Online School workshops before or after a Tuesday to bring you up to speed on something you haven't tried before. It just makes sense! The MOS will be launched soon.
Expect a fun day and maybe just go with the mosaic flow.
Great Wall of mOs (Decorate concrete walls at Studio OzMosaics!).
Sometimes, you may work with Sandy and others on 3-D and mesh murals to be installed on OzMosaics Great Wall of mOz! Don't feel like lugging anything, Option A is great! Hone your skills on our mosaics in progress at OzMosaics.
Great chance to test out your mosaic skills, use Sandy's tesserae (only on OzMosaics projects) and advance your mosaic skills.
Work on a section and then perhaps swap to another section.
Materials will be across the mosaic board and a good chance for you to try things out.
***Just want company and experience on a larger OzMosaics project?
If working on one of Sandy's OzMosaics projects, (subect to availability). You will gain experience and enjoy working on different styles of mosaics in progress. In this situation, you may use our tools and materials as we keep the mosaic. You learn hands on without needing your own project.
Option B:
Work on your own project. Starting something new? Finishing something off? Want to grout a project? Need to work out a pattern?
Bring your own tools and materials, bases etc or purchase from OzMosaics Studio store as required.
We will provide a Student Materials Listing Sheet for students to list what they used from OzMosaics Studio Store or Stash.
Light weight boards may be shaped/purchased.
If you want boards shaped or hardware installed, book this in with Dave for following Tuesdays, and Dave will advise costs. You may not return any materials once taken out of the grout/thinset drawers but take home what's not used in a plastic bag. This will be fully explained at the beginning of the day.
OzMosaics Shop will be open on MAD Tuesdays.
Tea and coffee provided. If you have special dietary needs, please bring your own speciality tea, coffee, water or other beverages, etc.
