    Description

    Learn how to create contemporary and fashionable mosaic art from broken vintage (or modern!) china, ceramic, glass, beads and trinkets. This is an inspiring and therapeutic way to spend a weekend playing with all sorts of beautiful but broken vintage china and ceramic pieces. It's also a way to recycle/upcycle broken or unwanted china to create something new.  All materials are provided with an emphasis on recycled and expressive art. Although we provide all materials, you are welcome to bring along some of your own broken china or jewellery if you wish to incorporate this.  For more information about tutor Jo Luker, visit nzmosaicart.co.nz
