Do you need to bring anything?
You don’t need to bring anything as all materials are provided. You may choose to bring images of mosaic Christmas decorations for inspiration but I will have printed out images and examples for you to look at. You can bring a terracotta pot of your own choosing if there’s a particular shape that you like (make sure it’s not too big as it would be nice for you to complete it on one day).
Your mosaics need 24 hours to dry so your tutor will grout your mosaics and have them ready for you within 7 days. You will be notified by the reception team as soon as they are ready for collection. Alternatively you will be supplied with the grout and a link to a video on how to grout your mosaics at home.
